Here is a funny little thing about our family. I don’t like cheesecake, I know strange to hear a woman say this. My husband is not much of a dessert lover, there are few things in the dessert category that he really loves. However, cheesecake is one of those things. As this month’s Crazy Cooking Challenge is Cheesecake my hubby got to have this treat that I very rarely make. The rules have changed a bit. We used to have to find the recipe on another blog however, now we can find it any ol place we like. Now the options really are endless. I chose to make these cute little mini red velvet cheesecakes from Betty Crocker .

As I didn’t have one, again me no likey the cheesecake, I will just have to tell you what everyone else said. They were a hit! Apparently quite rich, so you probably won’t need moire than one and the real beauty of the recipe is you can freeze them for up to 5 months! Hello Christmas Baking!

I hope you enjoy these tasty little morsels!
