I have been using this as a whole cheese cake recipe for years with a cookie crust so decided to try as mini cakes when I saw this. Well it came out really good. I still used my cookie crust of 1 1/2 cups vanilla cookie crumbs with 6tbl butter melted. After mixing I placed two tbl crumbs into each muffin cup and pressed in with the back of the spoon so that some came up the sides a little. Filled cups and got 12 mini cakes. Looked really cute with topping and whipped cream may give as xmas gifts.
