Cute would not be the first word to describe cheesecake, however once you take a look at these.. I believe you would agree, cute is an apt description :)
The recipe is from "Cooking for Engineers", relatively easy and simple recipe, and best of all, only about a 30 min wait before you can taste the finished product!
Here goes:
First step is always to gather ingredients needed into one place, so you save time while you're baking, and also so it minimizes the chances of forgetting an ingredient.
Next we go ahead and mix all our ingredients together, a tip for cheesecake, let the cream cheese soften a bit before you use it. Mixing is a lot easier and your forearms will thank you :)
The childhood bestie! :) What a great model. We had so much fun with the hand held mixer...
While she was mixing, I filled cupcake tins with vanilla wafers for the crust. We ended up doing two cookies per tin, although it still didn't seem to cover or create as much crust as I would have liked... *note to self, add more cookies, or change the layout, perhaps break them apart??*
After we filled the cupcake tins, we topped it with strawberries! Delicious looking aren't they?
Towards the end, we had extra batter, but not enough strawberries... we ate them all. So I substituted nectarines to top the remaining cheesecakes
Voila! Finished delicious product. For a better cheesecake eating experience I recommend refrigerating for 5-10 mins.
That's all for now! I believe another baking date is due soon, not sure what is in store for that... suggestions are welcomed. We made white chocolate chip cookies together a couple weeks ago, but no photographic evidence was collected.
Au revoir

dang that looks prettttty darn good
the nectarine substitute may have been a good unintentional double-bonus points (1 for eating strawberries yum and another 1 for nectarine cupcakes)
