It may be hard to believe this, but there are people out there, people that you may know, who do not like chocolate! WOW! MIND BLOWN, Right? And, while I adore chocolate and sometimes (most of the time) crave it, occasionally it is nice to have something that is not chocolate, if only to help you appreciate chocolate even more! And what, I ask you, could be a runner up to chocolate? Cheesecake of course!
Yesterday, Lindsey talked about sharing cookies with friends and neighbors as a way of giving service as we participate in #LightTheWorld this Christmas season. So, I thought I would give you another choice of something that everyone will love you for if you include them on your treat platters! It is so great to get a little bit of cheesecake that isn't over the top filling but gives you that creamy, rich goodness.

My recipe is an adaptation from Jim Fobel's Old-Fashioned Baking Book. In it, he has a cheesecake square recipe that uses lemon and walnuts. I prefer pecans if I going to eat nuts in a dessert, which I don't usually care for. But in this case, they are ground finely and used in the crust, instead of getting in the way of the delicate creaminess of the cheesecake part. Then, just a few pecan pieces are scattered on top. Also, I love the taste of oranges during the holidays. They just say Christmas to me. And, finally because I have a large family and wanted to give some of these away, I needed a larger recipe. So, I came up with my Orange Pecan Cheesecake Bite version and I have to tell you, they are delicious and while they are baking, the smell is wonderful. It really does smell like the holidays!
There you go! Some scrumptious cheesecake without too much guilt! Soon, I will show you what my goodie platters look like as we get ready to deliver them!

This tray is plastic with a silver tone and comes 24 to a case. It is 16", so it will hold lots of treats for a party!

These oval plastic platters are so cute and also come 24 in a case. So, if you want fewer, go to the store to purchase them.

Oh My Goodness! These are so super cute! They are 8" cookie plates if you need something a little smaller! I want them for dessert plates! I don't know if I can give them away! These come only 12 in a case! So that is a very manageable number!

They have the mugs to match!!! These are great to hold a Hot Cocoa Bomb gift! I can't even tell you how happy this makes me!
