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!

    I love my mom’s cheesecake, made from sour cream and ricotta in addition to cream cheese.

    But other than that … I would have to say I am very interested in pumpkin cheesecake with candied ginger. It sounds so exotic!

    That is the cutest pan, too.

    Hmm… its so hard to find a good cheesecake, because nearly all of the ones i’ve tasted are way too heavy or greasy… however, i *did* have an amazing chocolate caramel cheesecake once that was so light it was almost like mousse! absolutely delicious

    When it is colder I love pumpkin cheesecake, but blueberry is my favorite when it is warmer.

    Wow. All these posts are making me crave dessert! If I’m out, I love Vanilla Bean from Cheesecake Factory. If I’m making it, I’ll go for most anything, but peanut butter is probably tops.

    My favorite cheesecake is lemon chocolate chocolate that a local restaurant used to serve. It was a lemon cheesecake with a dark chocolate crust and dark chocolate chips in the cake.

    Turtle. Or caramel. Or plain. With fruit. Or chocolate. Is there such a thing as bad cheesecake?

    I’d have to say I like plain best, but I’ll happily choke any flavor down…YUM!!

    My birthday cake every year is a “black and white” cheesecake that my mother found in a mid-80s Bon Appetit. The recipe is so old that their online archives don’t cover it. It’s a dry cheese cake with a marbled appearance, covered in chocolate ganache. Yum!

    Pumpkin. I love all things pumpkin and prefer cheesecake over regular cake any day so when you put the two together, Mmmmmm.

    I just love simple vanilla bean. It is so classic and so perfect. When it has real flecks of vanilla bean in it it is just perfect=)

    Red Velvet Cheesecake =)
    It is absolutely delicious and you get a little bit of cake and cheese all at the same time!

    i typically go for a normal plain cheesecake, but given my pumpkin obsession this past month (tell me there is a shortage, and well…i have no real excuse) i now need to make the pumpkin cheesecake and a regular to do a necessary side by side to re-evaluate!

    Lemon cheesecake is my favorite. The combination of the two is just rich and refreshing. Love your website and the links to other blogs. I’ve learned a lot from them.

    This pan is GREAT! Although I do love pumpkin cheesecake, my favorites are either a really good gingerbread cheesecake or a rich praline caramel cheesecake.

    My favorite to make and eat would be Chocolate Chip Cheesecake! I like to make a crust using a devils food cake mix. It’s so good. Pumpkin is a close second though!

    I love Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake! Dulce De Leche or Oreo come in for a very close second choice. Although, a brownie bottom s’mores cheesecake sounds really good right now! Yum!

    Call me weird whatsoever, I love London Avocado Cheesecake. I’ve made it once and it’s delicious. Filling is avocado and lime and London topping consist of sour cream and vanilla extract. A lot of flavor going on, but absolutely creamy and delicious!

    I love making white chocolate cheesecakes with fruit flavors – raspberry or citrus. Otherwise, turtle cheesecake is yummy. 🙂

    Chocolate, by far. The Hershey one on fbnr.com can’t be beat.
