Easy Enough For a Monkey TO Make!

Have you ever had a time when someone asked if they could come over for a quick cup of coffee? While it is easy to get the coffee on and cups ready, it is still nice to have a little something to go with it. I mean I guess you could just scoop some peanuts in a bowl and call it good, but wouldn’t it be nice to have something just coming out of the oven?

Chances are you might even have these ingredients already in the fridge. If not, go ahead and stock up because you never know when a little snack would be nice.

The other big bonus to this recipe is that you can eat it with your fingers! So even little snackers will love this.

For our granddaughters birthday I bought her a little tea set. We have had so much fun pouring water from the kettle to the tiny cups. It came with saucers and small dessert plates so I think the next time I visit I will have to whip up a batch of these. She is going to love it and just hearing her say the word banana makes me smile.

This is what Abbey from The Cards We Drew has to say about this fun filled recipe.

I have an amazingly simple cheesecake recipe that I thought I’d turn into a fun little dessert. You can use those ripened bananas and turn them into delicious Banana Cheesecake Rollups. They are WONDERFUL with a cup of coffee or as a great brunch recipe!!

These perfect little morsels will be the talk of the Party!

I love fruit filled desserts and have always tried to avoid making cheesecakes because they look so intimidating. The no-bake ones are always an option but get real, they don’t have that classic cheesecake texture of taste. Then I saw these little minis. I never knew there were little mini cheesecake pans!
As soon as I saw this recipe I ordered one off Amazon and am so excited to try it out.
In fact, I think the only person in our family to attempt a cheesecake was my husband, John, when he made his mom’s recipe for a cake auction. It was very time intensive and seemed complicated with all the different steps.

In the end, it was wonderful, don’t get me wrong, it was just more than I wanted to commit to.

You can use a muffin pan, but the perfect little cylinders shapes are just too adorable. Since the cakes are so small the whole cheese cake water-bath isn’t necessary. Plus, cheesecakes can be so rich and filling.

For those wanting to cut back on calories, this little indulgence doesn’t really add to much guilt.

Having a granddaughter I am very excited about making these for our tea parties. I know she will absolutely love them, and so will her doll and stuffed animals, I might have to help them eat theirs. Anything I can do to help!

These can also be made with Vanilla Oreos and a regular filling topped with a strawberry or blueberry sauce. Not that I am a huge fan of the Vanilla Oreos. But, for a pie crust that might be a pretty good idea.

This is what Danielle of Live Well, Bake Often has to say about her recipe.

Quick Tip: Make these the day before and keep in fridge. Because the tops may have a few little cracks in it, pipe on some whipped cream right before serving. Plus, it will look extra cute!
