Cheesecake Cookie Cups

"A mini cheesecake recipe from Nestle. Great for Christmas cookie exchange, bake sales, Valentines, office party, tailgate party or just about anytime. Can make with sugar cookie dough, too. Want to eliminate the topping? Drizzle with chocolate or sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips. Another suggestion: sugar cookie dough with blueberry topping."

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
