I assume it’s secure to say that the mini cheesecake obsession remains going strong!  It began with these cute mini oreo cheesecakes, which so a lot of you cherished.  given that summer time is nearly right here and the simplest element i can reflect onconsideration on is lemon desserts, I determined to make a mini lemon cheesecake model to proportion with you.

I am getting questions about whether or not the mini cheesecakes look desirable in a muffin pan with the liners, so I’ve blanketed a photograph of what they appear to be whilst baked in a muffin pan.  They do have some grooves from the cupcake liners, but they still look pretty and taste scrumptious!
