What do cupcakes and puppies have in common? Itty bitty! Mini-sized. Wouldn't most of us agree that small versions of things are just cuter? Most of the desserts I make for SMS tend to be small. There are only two of us here, so to have an entire cheesecake would be a little silly. This time around, I quartered the recipe for Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake with Cornmeal Crumble Crust that Eliana of a Chica Bakes selected. The only other change I made was to omit the blueberry topping (Dan's not a big blueberry fan) and to UP the amount of lemon juice and lemon zest in the recipe -- I find that most lemon recipes tend to have too subtle a lemon flavor. So I just about doubled the amount of lemon that should have been in there.
Just how small was my lil cheesecake? Use the spoon for scale:
Eep! So cute! It is about 3 inches across.
This came out quite delicious. Though I didn't totally love the cornmeal crust so much, we really really enjoyed the cheesecake filling part. In the end, I was glad I upped the amount of lemon - it had a perfect lemony flavor.
Thanks to Eliana for picking this one! Make sure you visit everyone else's blogs to see how they did!

Thanks so much for baking along with me. Your mini cheesecake looks great :)
Minis are the best and yours looks perfect!
So cute! I went even smaller than that and used my cupcake pan!
Your cheesecake looks delicious!! Love the lemony flavor! Cornmeal crust sounds intriguing.

Don't you just love anything in mini form? Looks delicious!
Great job on your mini cheesecake! I thought about doing mini's, but then made the full size. I hope we can eat it all!
Although I've dropped out of SMS, I just might have to make that cheesecake. And skip the crust!
I bought a little springform pan just for the ability to make tiny desserts - they're more fun!
those mini cheesecakes look so cute!
Your cheesecake looks wonderful!
What a great creation! Cornmeal crust...I love that, and of course the lemon. Just might not be big enough!
This looks so delicious and I never would have thought of making it with cornmeal crust. I also am curious if you could use graham crust instead (simply because right now I don't have any cornmeal)? I am bookmarking this for sure! Thanks for sharing!
YUM!! SO cute!
