This guy is the best there is! He has been by my side for three decades and my success is due, in part, to his unwavering support. He never says no. From delivering a cake to building a custom cake stand, to fixing my commercial dishwasher, he is my director of operations. So when, Jim, asks me for mini cheesecakes to celebrate his birthday, he gets them. This recipe is his favorite and he said I could share it with you:) Enjoy!
Ever wanted a cheesecake but didn’t want to wait 24 hours before you could eat it? Me, too. These little cheesecakes are quick and easy to make, cool in the fridge for two to three hours and they are ready to eat! The recipe only makes six, perfect for a family treat. If you want more than six, the recipe can be doubled or tripled.
