ginger pear mini cheesecakes

Oh Ma gawwwwd so yummy!
I miss baking I'm overseas for 2 weeks so no baking for me gonna make some brownies as soon as I get home

oh wow @Jess those look delicious how did you incorporate the ginger? I find it to be kind of overpowering when I use it so I need ideas

@Tammy I love it, so I have it in both the cheesecake part and in the pear top as powder. (Though now that I'm thinking about it, I'll use candied ginger in the topping with the pear next time I make it) what you could so though is make kind of a pear crumble topping instead of just pear, like with oats and butter, and stick ginger in that portion instead of in the cheesecake part or vice versa. Or just leave it out, cheese and pears go together anyway.
You'd end up with a heavier dessert though if you did a crumble topping. Ooo or you could do a more traditional graham crust instead of phyllo like I used here and put the ginger in that part and leave the pears on top plain and baked in.

You could also probably just swap out ginger for cinnamon and have all of the fall feel without ginger.
