Perfect light heavenly bites!! I made these for new year's and they disappeared within minutes - everybody loved them. They are absolutely delicious with and without the orange sugar on top. I let the muffin pan sit in a baking sheet with hot water for few seconds before removing them. I will definitely use paper lines next time. Thanks Giada!

I have made these several times and each time, they don't last but 2 minutes before they are gone. I love this recipe and so does my family.

I made these for Christmas and I haven't eaten them yet but I made them in paper liners and they worked perfect. Easy and cute. I made 48 and I have a feeling I should've made even more!

Very rich! I took the orange flavors out and put vanilla extract in. I also put ganosh on top. Crowd pleaser!

i used oreos for the crust and it tasted horrible. don't use oreos. also, wasn't crazy about the orange flavor of the cake, make sure not to overdo it with the zesting, the orange can get a bit overpowering

Excellent and easy! I have made this many times and there are never leftovers! I generally quadruple the recipe (only use 3 eggs though and turns out great. I have done in mini muffin, regular muffin and 8 inch cheesecake and never had a problem. Water bath is a must when baking. Once chilled and ready to serve...quickly dip the pan in a tray filled 1/2 way with hot water - melts the butter in the crust just enough to loosen the cheesecakes for super easy removal. Enjoy!

I am not here to rate as much as ask a question. Has anyone doubled or trippled the recipe? Does it work well. If I read this correctly it only makes six mini cheesecakes? If I am going to go to all that trouble, I would like something to show for it.

The individual portions are perfect to have a light but satisfying dessert for after a meal. The blend of the orange zest, ricotta and cream cheese is amazing! Additionally so, the sugar and orange zest topping really add a nice layer of citrus. The layers are what really make these cakes. I am a chocolate lover but find myself mostly eating just the cheesecake and sugar portion. I was told that these are, "A definite do over!" Yum! Be very careful when taking them out with a knife because they can crumble quite easily if you are not careful! Not a huge issue unless you are big on presentation but most everyone who tried it didn't spend much time examining them as they were inhaled.

I used bakers joy cooking spray prior to inserting the crust. I also baked the crust for about 4 minutes prior to adding the filling. I wanted larger portions, so I made them in regular sized muffin pans and cooked them for about 5 minutes longer than the recipe called for. I thought the orange topping was a bit much,so I decided to drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate on them instead... they were great! The texture was softer than my normal preference, but the flavor was good.

A few people commented that the crust fell apart when taking them out of the pan, so I used cooking spray and baked the crust at 350 degrees for 4 minutes prior to putting in the custard. They came out beautifully with nothing left in the pan. I'm a personal chef and made them today for someone who belongs to a Red Hat Society. I'm sure they will be the hit of the party.
