As much as I enjoy cheesecake (especially now that I've figured out how to deal with those pesky cracks), a normal full-size cake just yields so much food. Minis are definitely the way to go - easier to share, transport, and even scale up or down to meet your needs. This recipe for raspberry swirl mini cheesecakes will yield about 16 minis, but I've halved it to make only 8 and doubled to make over 30 for big gatherings.
