Cream Cheese Cupcakes (Like a Cheese-Cake but Soooo Easy)
"These are OUTRAGEOUS!! My girfriend Pam sent these to me all the way from South Beach one year for my birthday - I had one then immediately called her & begged for the recipe...
I recommend using foil cupcake liners - they work better then the paper ones for this recipe..."

This was GREAT! Instead of doing individual cups, I made 2 pies (just took a little longer to cook). I used a vanilla wafer crust instead of grahm cracker and swirled homemade blueberry jam through it before backing. It was sooo good! Everyone loved it! Thanks -
One word ... GASTRONOMICAL! -
We loved them. They seemed to be small cheesecakes not a cupcake consistency at all. They were very easy to make, I almost doubled the recipe, just to have many more to share, we're building a house, like to keep my workers happy. The recipe made 24 cheesecakes for me, I only had to make a bit more of the crust. Thanks Blondie, we loved them and will make again and again, since real cheesecake takes too long.

<p>Born & raised in Northern NJ and now live in the NJ suburbs of New York City. <br /><br />I grew up on all the traditional Italian meals from my Grandmother's kitchen. Holiday's were parades of food of all kinds, from main dishes to desserts, but mostly I remember Gram's traditional Italian dishes around the Holiday's surrounded by all of our family. <br /><br />I love to cook everything now. I find it great to experiment & try new recipes. Most of all, I love to entertain & host dinners with family, friends & have Holidays at home with my terrific husband & our four legged furry goofball bulldog! <br /><br />===================================== <br /><br />Spring 2008: I was picked for the Pick-A-Chef Spring 2008 Contest by a wonderful chef: Chef #166642 who made my Recipe #293174 and my Recipe #285517 and lastly, my Recipe #287338 <br /><br />The link to the cookbook from that contest is: http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=199542 <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br />===================================== <br /><br />July 2008: I was just Z-mailed that I was picked for My 3 Chefs 2008 Cooking Contest by: Chef #829183 who made my: Recipe #307814 <br /><br />She Z-mailed me the link to the cookbook from that contest: http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=213150 <br /><br /><img src=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/potluckpbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br />=====================================</p>
