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 20, 2009Mango is my favourite cheesecake flavour – the sweetness of the fruit is a perfect complement to the tartness of the cheese 🙂
Maria
October 20, 2009What a cute pan! I love brownie cheesecake!
Dolce
October 20, 2009This sounds fun! I am not a huge pumpkin fan, and my best cheesecake flavor, if not the “plain” one, is a dulce de leche variation.
Kate
October 20, 2009My favorite cheesecake is the Snickers cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory – so good, yet so many calories!!
Carole Resnick
October 20, 2009My favorite cheesecake is a pina colada cheesecake. Thank you for the kind giveaway. I have already ordered the book so an extra copy would make one less holiday gift to purchase.

October 20, 2009I have to say pumpkin cheesecake is definitely my favorite at this time of year, but overall I had a vanilla bean cheesecake in Nashville once that rocked all over the place. It was pretty amazing!
kim
October 20, 2009My favorite cheesecake flavor is pumpkin. It’s the perfect version of pumpkin pie for me. If I couldn’t have that, maybe a light lemon flavored cheesecake with cherries on top.
