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, 2009Key lime cheesecake! The sweet creaminess of a normal cheesecake offset with the perfect tartness of key limes does it for me every time! mmmmmmmm…
Jackie
October 20, 2009Oreo cheesecake for sure! I love the cookie and it’s just that much better in a cheesecake. =)
Lola
October 20, 2009My favorite cheesecake is vanilla bean with raspberry sauce. I think a nice tart key lime cheesecake would be my second choice…
Jess
October 20, 2009Vanilla bean! Pumpkin’s a close second, but vanilla wins, because you can layer it with so many other things.
Christie
October 20, 2009White chocolate raspberry. But I never really met a cheesecake I didn’t like!

October 20, 2009I adore cheesecake so it’s really tough for me to decide upon just one favorite: I bake Chocolate Irish Cream, coconut, cappuccino, white chocolate and raspberry, green tea and white chocolate macadamia the most frequently and my all-time favorite would be White Chocolate and Raspberry Mascarpone Cheesecake! BTW, I love your blog and come to visit on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes and culinary adventures!

ulimonster
October 21, 2009It would be a close call between brownie cheesecake and cloudberry cheesecake… I think I have to go for cloudberry though because I can only make it when I am lucky enough to have some nice relative send me some jam… 🙂
Andrea
October 21, 2009I’m going to have to go with chocolate on this one. There was this one AMAZING dark chocolate one I had at a friend’s birthday party once (it didn’t help at all that there was rasberry sauce drizzled on it as well) and I haven’t tasted anything to top it since.
