Back to baking so soon? Yes, well, a perfect meal isn't complete without a perfect dessert. And perfect does not do justice to these delicious mini cheesecakes.
Not only were they easy to make, but they were fluffy and moist, and the flavor was just right. One bite of them was true indulgence.

Funny! I have been making cheesecake and that's all I ate today!

ReplyDeleteThose look good, such a neat idea too of putting them into cupcakes! I'll have to give that a try sometime.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone :) They are really yummy.
ReplyDeleteMmmm I love cheesecake cuppies! :D
ReplyDeleteThe dulce de leche is what makes the brownies gooey. Without it, they'd still probably be pretty rich. If you want them to be fudgier, just take them out a minute early. Otherwise, they're kinda a cross between cakey and fudgy! :)
YOU ARE AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! With the amounts listed, how many were you able to make?
ReplyDeleteHey I made these tonight but because of YOU not listing how many it makes I forgot to put the egg in. :( You suck.
ReplyDeleteLol, what does me not listing how many it makes have to do with the eggs! And it makes 12 I believe. Happy? :)
ReplyDeletei love this idea!!! and they look so perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi, (I hope I am getting this right...)
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is obviously on my Must-Bake list and is PURE AWESOME! Wat I don't understand is the fact that the ingredient list always comes out glitchy and I really can't tell what is going on.(This has happened whenever I come on this same page)
Could you please have a look into it. Thnx! D:
