mini baked cheesecake cupcakes

These are a huge favourite amongst my friends and family, and apparently I don't make them often enough! But I prefer to keep these gorgeous mini baked cheesecakes as an occasional treat, that way it keeps the fans wanting more.

But I did make a batch last weekend for a dessert for a dinner we went to, and I dished out the rest to a few friends and family who happened to pop by that weekend. The recipe is from the lovely little pink book "500 Cupcakes" by Fergal Connolly (page 128 - mine is permanently bookmarked!). I topped my ones off with passionfruit syrup but in the past I've done berries and that tastes just as yummy!
