Black Forest Mini Cheesecakes
I had some cherry pie filling left over from making Danish and wanted to use it up. I also needed a dessert for dinner with a friend. I came up with these. This is a great recipe for a number of reasons. To start with it’s cheesecake, which is always a good thing. This is also a really quick recipe and simple to make. It also just makes 6 little cheesecakes. Perfect for when you don’t need a lot of something. You can just make extra batches when more is needed. Also fun for when you are craving cheesecake but don’t have the time to make a large one.
