I love cheesecake, but sometimes I can’t be bothered to make a big, honking full-sized one. I don’t know what the mental block is, but if I have the idea “Hey! I think I’ll make a cheesecake!” I immediately get really tired and want to get back in bed. I think it’s partly to do with the fact that a full-sized cheesecake is a living, breathing thing, and while I can usually avoid winding up with a big crack down the middle, sometimes a cheesecake does what it wants to do. In addition, a full-sized cheesecake takes so long to chill properly, and by the time you can actually cut a slice and enjoy it, you have now aged 27 years.
As I said, I just want to get back in bed.
So mini cheesecakes are where I live! They’re simpler, provide more immediate gratification (relatively speaking) and you can freeze them and just pull out what you need when you need it.
And they don’t make me tired. Sold!
First, make the chocolate cookie crust. Add chocolate graham crackers to a food processor. (Or you can use Oreos!)
Add a little sugar…
Then pulse the crumbs…
Until they’re really fine.
Keep pulsing while you drizzle in melted butter.
This makes the crumbs nice and moist.
Oh, and buttery!
Line a couple of muffin pans with paper cups, then add crumbs to each one. You need about 2 tablespoons of crumbs in each cup.
Use your fangers or the bottom of a 1/4 cup measure to pack them tightly in the cups.
Now just set these aside; no need to bake ’em!
Next up: Make the cream cheese filling! That’s softened cream cheese…
Sugar…
And eggs.
Oh! And vanilla!
Beat this until it’s totally smooth…
Then (this is where things really go off the rails) drizzle in some jarred salted caramel. (If you can’t find salted caramel sauce, you can just use regular caramel sauce with a little salt added.)
Mix this in, scraping the sides of the bowl and trying really hard not to dive in and eat this with a spoon. Just remember everything your mama taught you about patience being a virtue!
Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups.
It should work out to be roughtly 3 tablespoons of batter per cup. Give or take a gallon.
Now put these into a preheated 350 degree oven and bake them for about 15 to 17 minutes, until they’re set.
Let them cool for a bit, then pop the pans into the fridge to chill completely, about 2 hours or so. (Or you can make these and keep them in the fridge overnight if you have a life to go live!)
When the cheesecakes are chilled and you’re ready to finish them, make a luscious and easy ganache: Add chopped semisweet chocolate to a bowl…
Then pour over hot heavy cream…
And let it sit for a couple of minutes.
Once the chocolate has started to soften, start whisking it slowly…
And keep going until the mixture is smooth and perfect. This is a slightly thick ganache; you can add a little more cream if you want it to be a little thinner.
Add a little ganache to the tops of the chilled cheesecakes and spread it to even it out.
Lightly press a pecan half in the center…
Then sprinkle mini chocolate chips all over.
The straw that broke the camel’s back is a little more salted caramel sauce on top! Don’t try to be neat about it; if it gets on the paper cup, great. Life is beautifully messy.
You can freeze these in the finished form, then just pull them out and let them thaw. Or you can chill them in the fridge and serve them later in the day.
Or…
You can just dive in right now.
As you can see, that’s exactly what I did.
Enjoy these, friends!

I mentioned on Confessions that I’ve been cooking away on recipes for my next cookbook.
It won’t be out until NEXT October.
It feels great to start ahead of time! This is a new concept for me.
I’m a little afraid it will be like the few time I have started Christmas shopping really early: I wind up getting too much because I have way more time than I’m used to.
Although, that will work out better for the cookbook. If some recipes are good, more recipes are better…and too many recipes are even better!
Just wanted to give you a little peek at some of the things I’ve been cooking. I’m going to try to save the recipes for the cookbook and not post them here ahead of time…
But I’ve never been really good at patience. 
(P.S. I’ll be shooting over the next couple of months. I’m taking requests!)

(First, can we just reflect on the phrase “Pot Pot” in the title of this post? There’s just no way to avoid it! I tried. Pot Pot!)
Instant Pots are everywhere! They’re a cooking appliance known as a “Multi Cooker” which means it has several different functions, its most notable (and useful, in my experience) being a pressure cooker. I have to say, I was a bit of a latecomer to the Instant Pot world. I am generally resistant to new electronic cooking appliances, because I’m old school and love a dutch oven and an iron skillet. But then my BFF Hyacinth, who is an Instant Pot evangelist, gave me one for my birthday last January. I’ve slowly but surely come to LOVE it, and noticed that I wasn’t ever putting it away in the pantry. So naturally…
I thought it would be amazing to work with Instant Pot to bring PW patterns and colors into the mix! I’m so excited, and I’ll be sharing many Instant Pot adventures in the weeks to come. (Pssst. I’m giving some away over on PW Giveaways—go enter!)
The first Instant Pot recipe I want to share is my Perfect Pot Roast, a Drummond family favorite, which cooks in half the time (sometimes even less!)
Here’s how to make it!
I want to sear the roast before I cook it, so I hit the “saute” button. This heats the bottom of the insert.
While it heats up, season a chuck roast with nuttin’ but salt and pepper.
When the Instant Pot is ready to saute, it will say “Hot!”
So pour in a little olive oil…
And throw in the roast!
It’ll start to suh-MOKE and stu-EAM. It gets hot in there! Not quite as hot as a heated cast iron dutch oven…
But definitely hot enough to brown the surface of the meat.
When it’s browned on both sides, remove it to a plate.
Then throw some large chunks of onion right in. These are going to cook down to almost nothingness, so the bigger the pieces, the better.
Move the onions around for a couple of minutes and let them start to brown.
Note: I would normally add carrots to my pot roast! But guess what? Some turkey in my house ate all my carrots. So imagine there are large carrot chunks in this beautiful Instant Pot, kay?
Now’s the time to add in some red wine. A little…or not a little. (Translation: About 1/2 cup.)
Stir the onions, scraping up the bits from the bottom as much as you can. Let the wine cook for a minute or so…
Then pour in beef broth.
I love rosemary and thyme in my pot roast!
Chuck it right in, no need to chop.
Finally, the meat—as well as all the juices on the plate.
Now it’s time to pressure cook! Put the lid on. It locks closed, and you’ll know it’s locked when it emits a lovely little chime.
This is the pressure valve. You want to make sure it’s in the “Sealing” position.
Push the “Manual” button.
Hit the plus sign until it gets to 60 minutes (hard to read in this photo, but it says “60”), then give it a few seconds…and it will start the pressure cooking process! And here’s what happens: After a little time, you will see some steam releasing from the valve in a steady stream. This is normal! The Instant Pot is releasing excess steam as it comes up to temperature. This can take several minutes.
When this little button pops up, as pictured here, that means the unit is sealed and the pressure cooking has begun. From there, it will cook for 60 minutes.
Once the 60 minutes is done, the unit will automatically change to “Keep Warm.” During this time, the Instant Pot will remain locked and will begin naturally releasing pressure on its own. It is best not to disturb the process during this time.
Rather than counting down from 60 as it did when it was pressure cooking, the Instant Pot will now count up the minutes it is taking to release the pressure naturally.
You have the option to use a spoon handle to manually push the valve to “Venting” to manually release the pressure. However, when I have the time, I try to let the Instant Pot release as much pressure naturally as possible before I release the rest of the pressure manually. I think the food is the better for it.
After about 15 minutes of natural release, I’ll often go ahead and release the rest manually so I can get this show on the road!
When the steam is no longer coming out…
The button will pop down, indicating the pressure has been released and it’s safe to open the lid.
And look at that! It looks like a roast that’s been simmering away for 3-4 hours.
The first thing I do is skim off as much fat as I can from the top before disturbing everything and mixing the fat in.
Um…look at this meat! It is absolutely falling apart. It’s a miracle.
Serve big shreds of the pot roast with a side of mashed potatoes and the cooking liquid spooned over the roast. (Imagine this with big chunks of carrots!)
I love my dutch oven. But I’m really loving my Instant Pot, too. It’s been fun to dive in and experiment. I”ll be sharing more recipes in the coming weeks!
