Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes:Silky smooth pumpkin cheesecake nestled inside a spicy gingersnap crust. All the flavor of fall in the palm of your hand!

There are 2 types of people in this world.

Those who use cake mix, and those who pretend they don’t.

Whichever camp you fall into, you’re going to fangirl over The Domestic Rebel’s new cookbook: Out of the Box Desserts.  The recipes are unique, easy, and utterly delicious!

The book is also sprinkled with anecdotes and funny stories. I mean in what other cookbook can you read about stealing Little Debbies’ while your grandma watches her soaps, running up to greet all dogs (OMG someone else does this?!), and being tired of seeing baby pictures in your Facebook feed.

This isn’t a cookbook that bombards you with recipes, without any meaning behind them. I enjoyed reading about Hayley’s antics, and how the recipes tied into her family memories.

Out of the Box Desserts is divided into 5 sections: Cakes/Cupcakes, Brownies/Blondies/Bars, Cookies, Cheesecakes/Pies, and Candies. 

Other recipes I’m DYING to try are: 

1. Snickerdoodle Sheet Cake
2. Cherry Pie Cookies
3. Frosted Cupcookies

The recipe I had to try first was these Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes. They feature a spicy gingersnap crust, creamy pumpkin cheesecake, and a dollop of whipped cream! No more worrying about cutting the pumpkin pie and fighting over the last slice.
