Mini Pecan Pie Cheesecakes

"These Mini Pecan Pie Cheesecakes combine creamy cheesecake with crunchy pecan pie topping. This bite-sized dessert is perfect for holiday gatherings! Using a muffin tin to bake cheesecake is one of my favorite baking hacks. Just line a muffin tin with paper liners and add a bit of crust mixture to the bottom of each one. Pour in the cheesecake batter and send it off to the oven. No need for a water bath. And another bonus? The mini cheesecakes bake in ~20 minutes. That’s right. 20 minutes! With the holiday season quickly approaching, I thought it might be fun to combine 2 of my favorites: pecan pie and cheesecake. Why pick one when you can have both?? It took a couple of attempts, but I finally settled on this version: mini cheesecakes topped with a spoonful or two of pecan pie filling. You get a combination of creamy cheesecake filling and crunchy caramelized pecans in each bite. It’s amazing! (I won’t judge you if you go back for seconds…)"
