    2. Line a muffin pan with 12 foil baking liners and lightly spray with cooking spray. Pour the cheese mixture into the foil liners. Place the muffin pan on a rimmed baking sheet, transfer to the oven and pour about 1 1/2 cups water onto the baking sheet, to make a water bath. Bake until cheesecakes centers are just set, about 20 minutes. Remove the muffin pan form the baking sheet, then top the cheesecakes with the pine nuts, patting gently to adhere. Let cool for about 30 minutes, then dust with confectioners’ sugar.
