Maybe it's because they look so darn cute.
Perhaps it's because you don't feel so guilty eating one (or three).
Whatever the reason may be, here's a new favourite of mine.
Mini cheesecakes! Impress your friends. It'll be a secret between you and me that these only take mere minutes to make!
I must confess that this recipe is originally from the Kraft website, except mine are obviously made gluten-free.
