Mini Black Forest Cheesecakes ~ Classic cake flavor takes on a mini cheesecake form and texture.

Ah, yes, my mini cheesecake craze continues. Okay, lets just agree I have a tendency for OCD-like behavior. The more I blog the more it becomes apparent to me that there just might be a connection between me and that three letter acronym.

Either way I’ve decided to own it, embrace it and love it. That being said, I’ve have about another dozen of these little mini cheesecakes recipes to work out and many that are getting a little bit crazy in design (more on the latter to come).

For now, this latest one combines one of my favorite cake flavors. And since I wasn’t able to add a frosting layer with cherries tossed in Kirsch, I added the Kirsch to the cherry cheesecake portion. Then I threw a large cherry on top for a fun look. » Read the rest of this entry «

Chocolate Ginger Cheesecake Cups ~ Spice does in fact make everything nice when it comes to chocolate.

These are fantastically easy to make and I love the way they present themselves in cupcake liner. Elegant and warm, these are perfect for any family gathering or holiday dinner.

Yes, those near and dear to me think I’m crazy. But I love being fully done with all my shopping and holiday crafting by the end of September; so that I can of course, do my holiday baking without anxiety. » Read the rest of this entry «

Okay, so if you have been keeping up with me then you know I’m not only on a run of mini no-bake cheesecakes, but I’m also on a Neopolitan run. After soliciting opinions on whether to make Neopolitan cupcakes, cheesecakes, or cake balls on Facebook, I got back a 50-50 between cheesecake and cupcakes.

Since I didn’t pull off the layered look I wanted on my Neopolitan Cupcakes, I took a stab at making Neopolitan Mini Cheesecakes.

OCD? Perhaps, don’t talk to Matt he will say yes for sure. I will admit, even I drive myself crazy .But the first step to recovery is admitting it, right? Well for this baker the first step is the last step – that is, baking out every darn iteration is admitting and putting that obsession to rest. » Read the rest of this entry «
