Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake Pan and a Giveaway! (closed)

Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake Pan

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!

Update: This Contest is now closed!

    Mmmm… after having tried a New York a Pumpkin as well as a chocolate. I think I am a purest and enjoy just the basic flavor of vanilla in my cheesecake.

    My favorite cheesecake is my mom’s (aww). She has the best recipe for new york style cheesecake, but instead of a graham cracker crust, she uses sugar cookie dough for the crust. It’s very easy to make but it is delicious!

    I love chocolate in just about any dessert but plain New York style cheesecake is the best. Thanks for the giveaway!

    These are so cute! I like brownie batter mixed in with cheesecake – it breaks up the texture and just makes it So Super Rich that you can barely handle it!

    Maybe it’s because of your post, or the time of year, but I love a good pumpkin cheesecake. Otherwise, I prefer plain New York style with a crust that not soggy!

    I have no choice but to admit it…grin…my favorite cheesecake flavour is just PLAIN! A good cheesecake can ‘stand up on its own’ and I love the simplicity of the plain and unadulterated cake. Give me a great plain cheesecake with a strong cup of coffee and I am set!

    Depending on time of year, my favorite is a tossup between Rhubarb & White Chocolate Cheesecake or Pumpkin-Kahlua Cheesecake.

    What a cute pan! My favorite cheesecake flavor is whatever’s on my plate. But if I get to choose, I’d go for anything with peanut butter in it.

    I once tried raspberry truffle cheesecake and loved it, but I think my favorite is still pumpkin! Can’t wait for your book to be out!

    I’m not going to lie, but I like it simple. Just plain cheesecake with a small helping of strawberries on the side. Yum!

    Over the summer Cheesecake Factory had a wild blueberry DIVINE cheesecake that topped all the rest. It had a blueberry shortbread crust that was scrumptious!

    My favorite cheesecake is a combination of the last two desserts I made for my family Thanksgiving dinner- Cheesecake with a chocolate cream pie layer on top- graham cracker crust of course (tastes like a smore!) YUM!

    My favorite flavored cheesecake after pumpkin, would be Key Lime Pie Cheesecake. Tart of the limes with the tang of the cream cheese, delish!

  • Katy

    I’d have to say my favorite flavor of cheesecake is candy cane/peppermint cheesecake. The peppermint gives the already good cheesecake an extra kick!

    My favorite cheesecake ARE roasted sweet potato cheesecake a lady submitted few years ago to Sunset magazine, and Cheesecake Factory’s Craig’s Crazy Carrot cake cheesecake. YUM! 🙂 Thanks for having the give away! 🙂

    Okay, that is the cutest pan ever!

    My favorite cheese cake is one my mom makes, just a simple mocha cheese cake but what makes it special is the crust, no cookie crust, no nasty gram cracker crust… I can’t explain it, but it’s perfect!

    I experimented with a cheesecake recipe not too long ago that turned out FANTASTIC! It was a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. I’m not usually a big fan of white chocolate, but this one was to die for!

    I’ve tried all sorts of cheesecakes, but my favorite will always be the classic New York Cheesecake. Nothing beats its pure, basic flavor.

    I have fallen in love with the best cheesecake of all time: Chocolate chai cheesecake! A good dark chocolate imbued with the essence of the spices is just heavenly!
