Talent can be described as many different things.  Yesterday, Dallas Chambers called us out to to compete with his awesome talent.  I have to admit there is no way I'd ever beat him.  But I do have a talent of my own.  And here is a little challenge to Dallas, the entire Kiss Staff, and to you our wonderful listeners.

My talent is the ability to change any dessert into tiny desserts.  It doesn't matter if it is a cake, brownies, ice cream sundae-I'll take it and make mini desserts out of it.  I started doing this because of my son.  If I give him a regular serving, most of it goes to waste.  But if I take the dessert and scale it down, he will have the perfect amount.

Last night, I made mini cheesecakes.

Yummy!  Give me any recipe and I'll make it tiny.  So the challenge is on!  What are some of your favorite miniature desserts?

Mini Cheesecakes

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line miniature muffin tins (tassie pans) with miniature foil liners.
  2. Mix the graham cracker crumb mixture with a little melted butter and sugar.  Then press into your foil cups or tins.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Fill each miniature muffin liner with this mixture, almost to the top.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool. Top with a teaspoonful of cherry pie filling.
