This happened earlier this week, when in some strange morning induced wake-up fog, I came up with my full meal for dinner that night before I even got out of bed. And before my coffee had brewed and I’d taken my first sip, I also came up with about a half dozen recipes I wanted to make all at once. And so I did. These Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes were first on the list, because I had just bought this cheesecake pan and wanted to give it a try.

When I was looking for a pan, this one was the one I decided on, because I had heard good things about Chicago Metallic, and the price was right. $12.09 on Amazon, and I have Prime, so free shipping and I got it two days later. Yay! One of my new favorite pans!

Once I opened it up, it was time to get started. I sprayed the pan generously with non stick spray.

I mixed up 1 1/2 cups of chocolate graham cracker crumbs with 2/3 cup finely chopped Walnuts. I used my food processor to get a really fine mix. Then I added a half stick of melted butter until it made it soft and pliable. I spooned 2 loose tablespoons into each little cheesecake cup. I used my fingers to push the mixture down into the cup. Make sure you pack it in there pretty well.

Ingredients

• For the Crust:
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
• 2/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup a half stick melted butter
• For the cheesecake:
• 8 ounces softened cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup white cake mix
• 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
• For topping:
• 1/4-1/2 cup Raspberry Pie Filling or equivalent
• Raspberries for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray mini cheesecake pan generously with cooking spray.
3. In a small bowl, mix the chocolate graham cracker crumbs with the chopped walnuts. Use a food processor to get a really fine mixture.
4. Add the melted butter and pulse until incorporated.
5. Spoon 2 loose tablespoons of the chocolate crust mixture into each cheesecake cup. Using a spoon or your fingers, press the mixture down into the cup as evenly as possible.
6. In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and the sour cream.
7. Gently mix in the vanilla.
8. Add the egg and mix just until incorporated into the mixture.
9. Add in your sugar and cake mix, a little bit at a time just until incorporated. DO NOT OVERMIX. You are going for a smooth consistancy. Over mixing incorporates additional air into the cheesecake batter which then tends to cause cracking on the surface of your finished cheesecake. So try to mix until everything is incorporated but no more.
10. Spoon 2 tablespoons of cheesecake batter on top of the chocolate crust layer.
11. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
12. Remove from oven and allow them to cool 5 minutes.
13. Remove from the pan and allow to chill in your refrigerator for about two hours or so.
14. Once chilled, spoon rasperry pie filling on top of each little mini raspberry cheesecake.
15. Top with a fresh raspberry. Serve!
