With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to share with you this Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecake recipe – an easy and elegant dessert you could treat Mom (or yourself to).

I used my Pampered Chef Brownie pan to make these, which is why they are cute little squares.  You can easily make these in muffin tins, substituting your choice of Oreo, or Nilla Wafers as the crust.

Four years ago, when my son was 4, he mentioned to my husband that he wanted to “take care” of Mom, for Mother’s Day.  That meant letting me sleep in and being treated to breakfast in bed.  He was so proud of himself when he came in with Daddy, to bring me pancakes, bacon and fruit.

He had buttered the pancakes all by himself and had given me a generous amount of syrup.  Four years later, the tradition still continues, with my daughter now in the mix.  Her part of my Mother’s Day treat, is to come in bed and snuggle with me, until the boys come up, with my breakfast (which she then proceeds to eat a great majority of, lol).

It’s my favorite part of Mother’s Day.  It warms my heart to see my children wanting to take care of me, for one special day.
