So I shared with you what we did for my daughters birthday party last week. This week I wanted to share with you what I made for her on her actual birthday. She was able to chose any kind of dessert and dinner she wanted. For dinner she chose polish sausage with peppers, homemade macaroni and cheese and for dessert these cheesecake bites! I was kind of surprised about the dinner part. But she just loves those sausages, you never would of thought that she only turned 6 with the menu she planned! She is already a foodie for sure!
I was super ecstatic when she said cheesecake. I’m the one who pushed the pumpkin and chocolate chips but once I suggested it she was totally on board. Now let me tell you, these are addicting guys. We ate them all! Like all of them. Shared them with no one, we saved them for ourselves. What my family doesn’t know and probably won’t know unless they read this post (HI FAMILY) is that I am taking these to Thanksgiving dinner. Because I MUST make them again but I can’t eat them ALL again. I mean really I could but moderation people, moderation.
So these are not too complicated. I followed my cheesecake recipe and made a few adjustment because I made them into bites and used pumpkin. I found parchment cupcake liner that I am obsessed with now too! They worked really well for making these and nothing stuck to the liner! Tell me what are your favorite kind of cheesecakes to make?
