I made it the other day using Biscoffs for the cookie base. It came out excellent!!

Does anyone know if these can be frozen? If so, how long will they keep in the freezer?

This may be a silly question.. but how you meant to eat these? Do you peel away the liners and eat it like a cupcake or do you use a fork/spoon and eat it like a slice of cheesecake?

Yummy! I used graham sticks for the base and homemade chocolate cream cheese icing on the top. I use at least 4 oz. of chocolate for 1 batch of icing to cut down on the sweetness.

Hi there -

These cupcakes taste great but i'm just wondering about a few things - my cupcakes fall in the middle after they have been in the oven. Does this have something to do with the amount of time I heat them or the way I mix them? Just wondering if there is anyone who knows how to remedy this? Also - should the cupcakes be firm/ should the liners come off easily - as mine keep sticking to the liners.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thanks

the falling in the middle has a couple of potential causes - the most common is temperature too high - the outsides cook before the center has time to set.

check your oven temp with an independent thermometer to ensure it is close to the set point - ovens are notorious for errors on that.

The cupcakes should yield slightly when touched when they are done. They will further set as they cool. Mine come out of paper liners without sticking.

I have a recipe for an entire cheesecake and it has cherry pie filing in the middle of the cheescake (placed there obviously before cooking). I was thinking about making muffin sized cheescakes with the same filling. Any ideas on whterh this would work or not?

[Dilbert]

yes, that'll work.

you'll need to pay attention to the bake temp - the smaller muffin size will bake fast and burn easier - so start with a somewhat lower temp - I'd guess 50F ' less....

I have made this recipe for over 25 years... and have recently made it with Splenda -- and it was fine!

These cupcakes are awesome, honestly didnt mind the cupcake falling....I could barely wait for them to chill, I decided to put some cherry topping; Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.....

I made what seemed like a simple recipe for mini pumpkin cheesecakes using a gingersnap cookie as the crust. It tastes fine, however, all the cookies rose to the top..?? Where did I go wrong?

Great recipe. I love cheesecake and these are good for picnics.
