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!

Lindsey
October 20, 2009My 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!

October 20, 2009I love chocolate in just about any dessert but plain New York style cheesecake is the best. Thanks for the giveaway!
Katherine
October 20, 2009These 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!
Jen V
October 20, 2009Maybe 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!

October 20, 2009I 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!
Sarah K
