Don't feel too badly. How about putting your 6 year old daughter in the car, drive a ways to the grocery store, get her out and do your entire shop. When you get to the cashier, you realize that you've left your entire purse at home and just have your car keys. My daughter doesn't remember a lot about being 6, but she remembers that! I am so making this recipe, but I am not a fan of Cool Whip. I wonder what else I could top them with, without it being overkill. Any ideas?

Isn't it great the things kids remember? 🙂 Hey, at least it is good for laughs later in life. Do you like regular whipped cream? You could make your own from heavy whipping cream and a little sugar if you like.

Are these mini cupcake liners or standard sized?
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks for stopping by Carol. These are made in a regular size cupcake liner.

Gosh that is the worst feeling ever! I was dumb and left my purse in my car last fall and I definitely wasn't so lucky, and I'm still not over that silly decision that I made. Definitely could use one of these cheesecakes to make it better! 🙂
