    Help! ISO recipe for cheesecake cups

    This will teach me to procrastinate!

    A couple of weeks ago, I saw a recipe for a cheesecake dessert served in shot glasses. The recipe was in one of the little booklets in the checkout line at Wal-Mart. I noticed the back cover was torn (and of course it was the only one on the rack) so I decided to wait.

    So, today I'm back at WM and the book has been pulled. The checkout clerk said they all have a "pull-by" date; this one must have been early June. I think it was a Pillsbury book and the title, I believe, had "summer" in it.

    That's a long, involved way of asking if anyone has the booklet and, if you do, would you be good enough to share the recipe? I'd really appreciate it!

    Found it!! I knew I bought that one, but we're remodeling and I couldn't find it. Here it is:

    Cheesecake Shots

    2 pkgs. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened

    3/4 C. sugar

    1 T. coffee flavored liqueur or 1 tsp. chocolate extract

    2 tsp. grated lemon peel

    4 T. chocolate cookie crumbs

    chocolate covered coffee beans or grated chocolate

    4 T. graham cracker crumbs

    blueberries and raspberries

    In a lare bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Divide mixture in half; place in separate bowls. Stir coffee liqueur into half; stir lemon peel into remaining half of cream cheese mixture.

    Spoon 2 teaspoons chocolate cookie crumbs into bottoms of six (2 oz.) cordial glasses (shot glasses). Top with 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons cookie crumbs and another 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur cream cheese mixture. Top each with coffee bean.

    Spoon 2 teaspoons graham cracker crumbs into bottoms of 6 (2 oz.) cordial glasses (shot glasses). Top with 2 tablespoons lemon cream cheese mixture.

Refrigerate desserts at least 30 minutes before serving.
