Individual Cheesecakes

by 4 Comments

It’s Friday everyone, my favorite day of the week. I am going to feature a couple of dessert recipes over the next couple of weeks since Valentine’s Day is not to far away and what better way to tell the one’s you love than with a special dessert. My first post will be for Individual Cheesecakes.

This recipe for Individual Cheesecake’s is very simple but it looks like you put a lot of time and effort into the dessert. It has a graham cracker crust with a light and fluffy middle and I added cherry pie filling to top off this delicious dessert. You can pick the topping of your choice; caramel, chocolate, blueberry, lots of choices just pick your favorite.

You add melted butter to graham cracker crumbs and press them into cupcake liners, then you add some of the cheesecake mixture and bake. While baking the cheesecake rises above the liners but once you take them out to cool, the Individual Cheesecake’s flatten and become this dense cheesecake that is out of this world good.

Add your favorite topping (Cherry is by far my favorite) and you have the perfect little dessert. You won’t be able to eat just one, you will want many more, so try and contain yourself when eating these Individual Cheesecakes. Make some for the one’s you love!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CRUST:
  • 1 ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter; melted

  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 3 (8 ounce) bricks of cream cheese; softened

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cupcake pans with 24 paper liners.
  • In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar and cinnamon. Stir together with a fork until well blended and all dry ingredients are moistened and look like wet sand. Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Bake until just set, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F.

  • Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of the cheesecake batter over the crust in each cupcake liner using an ice cream scoop or two spoons.
  • Bake until the filling is just set, about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator and let chill for at least 4 hours before topping and serving, preferably overnight.

Zucchini Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

by 1 Comment

I am not a huge lover of bananas, but I do love a good banana bread/muffin. I love it even more when you add chocolate to it. I learned this when a friend made me some banana muffins with chocolate chips in them and I knew that I would be adding chocolate chips to my banana bread recipe!

Zucchini Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

I made 3 loaves in mini loaf pans and 1 regular size loaf pan. This bread freezes well for up to 1 month.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 2 bananas, mashed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (plus a few more for on top of the bread)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4 inch bread loaf pans. You could also use smaller pans (as seen in the photo).
  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with a hand mixer until light yellow and frothy. Add oil, brown sugar, white sugar, grated zucchini, bananas, and vanilla; blend together until well combined. Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry mix at a time to the mixing bowl and mix until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 - 50 minutes. Allow to cool in the loaf pans on a wire rack before removing and serving.
