Salted Caramel Cheesecakes!

Our lovely neighbors invited us over for dinner recently, and I brought along these mini salted caramel cheesecakes for dessert. I love making variations on the simple cheesecake recipe, and I almost always make them in mini form. I prefer a dessert be more individualized, and easy to grab or share in, versus making one large cheesecake in a pan.

Baby Salted Caramel Cheesecakes!

This is possibly one of the best desserts I have ever made. Mini salted caramel cheesecake cupcakes .... you need to make them.

Baby cheesecakes are SO easy to make and they taste very fancy! They are also super versatile - you can add cocoa powder or food coloring to the actual cheesecake part to change up the flavor, and then top them with anything ranging from candy, fruit jelly, whipped cream, frosting, etc.

Double Chocolate Cupcakes with Bailey's Caramel Frosting!

I didn't even know that Bailey's came in caramel-flavor, but once I made this happy discovery (quite accidentally), I knew it needed to be incorporated in frosting, and soon. I decided to make a super chocolatey cake and top with a chocolate buttercream frosting with plenty of Bailey's caramel. Topped with a dark chocolate chip!
