Mini Brownie Sundae Cheesecake

I have made MANY cheesecakes over the past 12 years but this is unique because of it’s adorable size and unique baking technique! No water bath needed and absolutely NO peeking allowed. Ok, so that was tricky but I behaved and it was worth it. This cake tastes outrageous. It uses a unique pan, too! (Luckily it is inexpensive.)  You can find it here… A Fat Daddio’s removable bottom sized 6×3. What a fun size this would be when you want to gift someone a cheesecake!
