This post is a long time coming. I made these little Pumpkin cheesecakes for a Halloween party I and my husband was invited to a while back. The only problem was that my husband wasn't really clear to clarify that we were going to this party until like two days before hand. Then he tells me the day of the party "Oh, hey you going to make something to bring to it right?" GRRRRRRRR!!!! Well I made these mini-cheese cakes out of what ever the hell I had sitting around the pantry.
