Simple ingredients turned into one delicious dessert!

 

 
 

Last weekend was Father’s Day and I wanted to bake something not only for my husband, but also my dad.  Being that they both like cheesecake I thought I’d make this recipe and give half to each of them.  These mini cheesecakes are  simple to make, they only require a few ingredients and are baked in a matter of minutes!  We topped ours off with cherries, however you can choose whatever you like.  Next time we’re going to try strawberry pie filling!
