I prepare these mini cheesecakes every Christmas and for many weddings. I've received countless compliments and recipe requests. When I send these along in my husband's lunch, I have to be sure to pack to extras because the men he works with love them, too.

I have made this recipe for many years and referred MANY people to use the recipe as well! No matter who uses it, they always tell me they got rave reviews on them and ran out!! So, always make at least a double batch! ;)

These were fun little cheesecakes to make. They don't have a ton of flavor but they are still good in their own way. I look foward to making them again!

Chocolate crust did not seem to have enough flavor. Maybe use crushed cookies?
