Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes

Cheesecake is probably my favorite dessert. When I was young and had all the time in the world, I would make a new cheesecake every week.  These days I still love cheesecake just as much but I don’t bake it quite so often.

A little while back, I was digging through the cabinets and found my mini cheesecake pan and immediately baked up a batch of mini cheesecakes.

They were gone in a flash and it didn’t quite satisfy my cheesecake craving.  So I made a second round and this time I made a chocolate chip version.  They were crazy-good and just perfect for parties or any holiday dinner.

I love any version of cheesecake and my Chocolate Cheesecake with Caramel Ganache has been going crazy on Pinterest. I have definite plans to make it again soon!

I’ve been pouring over all of the Thanksgiving magazines that have been coming in and getting some great holiday dish inspiration.

Some years we totally break tradition and serve a prime rib roast instead of turkey or ham. We haven’t decided for this year just yet, but you can be sure that these Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes will make the desserts menu. They are a family favorite.

Most years I could totally for go the meal part and just enjoy the appetizers and desserts but what’s the fun in that? Actually I’m never going to pass up prime rib, never.
