April's Daring Bakers challenge presented a fun treat and an opportunity to be creative with flavor. Jenny from Jenny Bakes chose Abbey's Infamous Cheesecake. I decided to make my cheesecake in cupcake cups for easier sharing, and then I picked two fun flavors. Since Tony (of Tony's Bistro) makes lunch and dinner for me on a regular basis, I made key lime cheesecakes for him. I'm not a key lime fan, but Tony said they were great. Josh chose the other flavor. He suggested a bourbon dark chocolate cheesecake. I'm also not a bourbon fan, so I substituted amaretto. I used amaretti cookies for the crust and Hershey's dark cocoa for the chocolate. These were wonderful!

I love the small cakes! Great job.
I love the dark chocolate cheesecake!!
Oh, the amaretto and chocolate sounds just divine! The two tone is a great effect, too. Libby
Chocolate amaretto sounds absolutely amazing. And the lime would be really refreshing. Great job! :)
I loved the key lime version I made, and the chocolate looks delicious. Thanks for being a part of the April Daring Baker's Challenge!
