Have you noticed a re-occurring theme of EGGS across the blogosphere this month? Of course you did eggs happen to be one of the stars of the Easter season (hello Easter Eggs) and you guessed it, deviled eggs. Did you happen to catch our CLASSIC DEVILED EGGS post earlier this month?

We waxed poetic about the incredible edible egg and it’s versatility. Yes those little babies aren’t just for breakfast. They’re also great in one of my favorite courses (you do remember that wicked sweet tooth of mine) which should come as no surprise that it is dessert.

I’ve teamed up with my friends at McCormick to bring you another egg-cellent (sorry couldn’t help myself) option for your Easter table. Mini Raspberry Caramel Cheesecakes. They’re not only beautiful but pack a flavorful one two three punch. To keep myself from eating a WHOLE cheesecake.

It could happen. I like to make them into mini versions. Mini makes them seem almost calorie free right? Don’t answer that. I made these using a 4″ flexipan (you could easily use 4″ cheesecake pans).

Cheesecake is one of those desserts that I can’t pass over (come to think of it there aren’t many that I would) and I’m thinking by their popularity that most others can’t either. So go ahead, make one larger, 4 mini cheesecakes OR you can make 12 individual portions by using muffin liners.

Want to bump up the raspberry flavor? Swap out the almond extract for raspberry extract! Options. They’re a good thing and so are these cheesecakes.
