Miniature cherry cheesecakes. Comments liked them more than a big cheesecake which is fine cuz they are much faster and easier than making a big one.

Those look sooooo cute! Did you use a cookie for the bottom layer? They look very cheerful with the red cherries!

Ooooooh, that’s a good idea! I reallyl don’t like vanilla wafers.

You could always use gingersnaps!

Or Nabisco chocolate wafers–bet those would go really well with the cherries.

I made chocolate snickerdoodles yesterday from a recipe in the paper. Super-easy dough, and they’re still nice and soft a day later.

Very true, at least those have some zip to them.

Or Nabisco chocolate wafers–bet those would go really well with the cherries.

And I do like those as well. Terrific food for thought!

Nephews would REVOLT if I put cardamom in their ccc… :joy:

I’ve tried using cardamom in pound cake, and can never discern the cardamom flavor… wonder if it dissipates with the heat and I just need to use twice what I would in an indian (unbaked) application.

How’d you like it with the chocolate?

Loved it. The cardamom leaves a warm finish. Eat a few, you get the hit.

But I’ve also been on a cardamom and almond extract kick lately.
