Mini Black Forest Cheesecakes

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).

These mini donuts are fun and easy to make. And since this was my first time making donuts I followed the recipe on the pan.
