Black Forest Mini Cheesecakes

These beautiful Black Forest Mini Cheesecakes are scrumptious and beautiful. Who could ask for more than that?  Those of you who are familiar with my blog know that I love to bake mini cheesecakes.  Indeed I do!  They are perfect little treats that will keep your sweet tooth in check without having to spend hours and hours on the elliptical. 

They are a cinch to make and it will look like you spent hours creating these gorgeous Black Forest Mini Cheesecakes.  I use my Chicago Metallic pan that has removable bottoms so you can gently push the cheesecakes up from the bottom after they chill for  a bit.  However if you don’t have one like this and don’t want to invest the money then just use your cupcake pan with cup liners.  They make the most beautiful liners these days!  You can always find some that will fit your occasion.
