Mini Peanut Butter Nutella Cheesecakes

Well hello there! I finally have a camera again! I couldn't being myself to share recipes without pictures because, personally, I like to have at least somewhat of an idea of what something is supposed to look like if I'm going to go through the trouble to make it. I'm kind of a visual person. I hate cookbooks without pictures. So here we are. Peanut Butter Nutella Cheesecakes. Yes. 3 of the world's most wonderful things all wrapped into one glorious little ramekin. Actually, I'm pretty sure there's some love in there too so that makes 4. :)

These are a pretty versatile little dessert. I put mine into small 6 oz. glass ramekins that are the perfect serving size for a personal dessert. I served them for a crew at my Super Bowl party. Hit. I served them for our Valentine's Day dessert. Hit. You pretty much can't go wrong with peanut butter Nutella cheesecake over an Oreo crust. Oh, and did I mention you don't even have to go through the trouble of baking them? Yes. Easy AND delicious AND beautiful. What's not to love?
