Miniature cheesecakes are a great way introduce both portion control and cuteness into dessert. You can always bake them in a muffin pan, but this Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake Pan gives you a few advantages that regular muffin pan doesn’t. You don’t need any paper liners for these pans because the bottoms are removable. All you need to do is loosen the sides of the cheesecake and push up on the bottom of each cavity, and the mini cheesecake will slide right out. The sides of the pan are nonstick, too, which really makes this easy to use.. Also, the cavities are pumpkin-shaped, making them perfect for fall and winter cheesecakes, even if they’re not pumpkin flavored.
As it so happens, I have one of these lovely Chicago Metallic Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake Pans to give away this week, and since my cookbook will be shipping in just a few days, I’m going to include a FREE copy of the cookbook along with the pan, making this a giveaway extra special. Now, there are no mini pumpkin cheesecake recipes in the book, but the pan comes with a good basic pumpkin cheesecake recipe to get you started with your pan.
To win, just leave a comment telling me what you favorite cheesecake flavor is on this post by Friday, October 23rd . A winner will be selected randomly. Don’t forget to include your e-mail on the form where you leave a comment (not in the comment itself) so I can contact you if you’re the winner!

October 21, 2009Have to admit that I’m a true chocoholic and have a chocolate ammaretto chessecake with chocolate cookie crumb crust that I love dearly. But in my opinion you cant go wrong with ANY creamy cheesckae recipe! Would love to have some of those already mentioned.
Mary
October 21, 2009I like blueberry, but even better is a lemon curd marbled cheesecake from Gourmet magazine. SO hoping to win your cookbook, too.
Allison C
October 21, 2009My favorite (at the moment) is tiramisu cheesecake, but I’ve been trying lots of new flavors recently so it’ll probably change soon!
Kate
October 21, 2009Wow! those look wonderful and fun! And a copy of your cookbook, too?!!
My favorite cheesecake flavor…hard to choose. I like strawberry, something with chocolate and caramel. Recently I had cheesecake with cherry topping and a chocolate crust. Yumm! Pumpkin sounds great, but I don’t think I’ve ever had that flavor of cheesecake. Guess it is time to try it out. 🙂

October 21, 2009ANY cheesecake would be my real answer, but if I had to choose, I’d probably say turtle cheesecake (chocolate-caramel-nuts), or a plain slice with strawberries and whipped cream. Heavenly. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
laura
October 21, 2009Traditional cherry cheesecake is my favorite. Usually it needs to be chocolate to interest me, but in this case cherry is it.
Anna
October 21, 2009Without a doubt, my favorite cheesecake flavor is a really truly delicious vanilla bean – so simple and so delicious it doesn’t need a single thing on top of it!

October 21, 2009I love any kind of chocolate, but I must say that pumpkin runs a close second. Thanks for the opportunity!
Sally
October 21, 2009My favorite all time flavor was (and I hate that it WAS) at Canter’s Deli on Fairfax in Los Angeles. It was strawberry but it wasn’t on top – the strawberry was mixed into the cream cheese so it was a lovely strawberry red color. It was AMAZING! I went to Canter’s a couple of years ago and they now have they typical strawberry topping on their cheesecake. I even called to see if I could get their recipe and it turns out that they didn’t make their own in those days — they bought it from a place that closed down. I have played with a few recipes but none matched my memories of a kid chowing down on that yummy treat!
Sam
