Mini Bailey's Chocolate Cheesecakes with Bailey's Whipped Cream Recipe from bakedbyrachel.com

Last night I was having a fun nostalgic night, playing music from the past. Usually when this happens, it turns into me quizzing the Mr to see if he can guess the song and/or artist in a reasonable time (or totally unreasonable). It’s always an entertaining time. Whether it be shocking him by me knowing the lyrics to certain songs or him cracking me up by his obvious desire to not admit to knowing certain songs. We all have those songs. Songs from the 80s are just too entertaining to revisit.

In more entertainment talk… we watched Catching Fire over the weekend and even though I had already seen it, no one else had… totally enjoyed it, obviously. If you loved the first, then you have to see this one. In the beginning they gave a nice tease to Divergent, which I’m totally looking forward to. Hopefully the rumors about ticket sales being better than Twilight are false, but I’m sure I still won’t wait too long to see it once it’s out. Will you be seeing it?

Ingredients
 

Crust:

  • 1 C chocolate graham cracker crumbs, roughly 6 sheets
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 C granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a mini cheesecake pan.
  • In a food processor combine crust ingredients. Divide mixture among prepared cheesecake cavities, adding one small cookie scoop to each. Press down firmly to create an even layer. Bake for 5 minutes.
