I love baking with flavored liquid creamers. There are so many flavor options that the possibilities are "infinite." That's the beauty of this cheesecake recipe I created. Other flavors can be substituted so you can have any number of flavored cheesecakes! My current favorite flavor is Brown Butter Pecan. I made these as minis but it could easily be made in a larger springform pan.
