Cheesecake Cupcakes! What a novel idea - I have never had this before.
I am definitely going to try this recipe - love cheesecake. As an engineer, not too worried about the calories - will figure that out later...
Thanks for posting this delicious recipe.

Hi! I would like to try this recipe. I am using an almost black non-stick muffin pan, should I adjust the temperature to 25 degree lower as what they recommend when baking with pans like mine? Or are your pans also non-stick and 350 is the right temp for non stick pans?

Sorry.. I am a newbie in baking and I ask the most stupid questions... bear with me.

if you chk this pix

they are not the dark non-stick.

on the first go around I'd follow the manufacturer's recommendation and adjust as needed from that experience.

good luck!

Try the "no bake cheesecake" recipes for the pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes in a mini pan with a ginger snap in the bottom. No need to worry about bake times and falling. It firms up in the fridge.

According to Here in America's Test Kitchen, 2002, tasters could not tell the difference between Pure Vanilla Extract and Imitation Vanilla. As a matter fact Imitation Vanilla was preferred in taste tests & there wasn't any difference in cooking. So, if you have imitation Vanilla, don't rush out and buy pure Vanilla to make this recipe.

I made these for some gluten intolerant teachers while my daughter made cupcakes for others. I used a store bought gluten free shortbread cookie as the crust. Since there was no flour in the batter this recipe was perfect. They were so excited to have such a delicious treat. Thanks!
