    Fireball Cheesecake Shots

    This adult dessert is very quick and easy to put together! If you like Fireball Whisky then you will love these Fireball Cheesecake Shots. Layered with graham cracker crust, cheesecake filling flavored with Fireball Whisky topped with some cherries that have a little bit of the whisky added to them. This is what I call a perfect ending to a delicious meal. Not too much sweet but just enough to satisfy with just a little bit of kick from the Whisky!

    Fireball Cheesecake Shots

    A few days ago I had a message from my friend Jill. The message consisted of a picture with a link to the recipe for this treat. I knew what she wanted. Poor girl. She saves things to our shared pinterest board for me to make and I've yet to make any of it. One recipe in particular she wants me to make is a Carrot Cake Cheesecake. Maybe I'll make that recipe for my birthday and share it with her 🙂

    This last weekend I shared these Fireball Cheesecake Shots with her and her hubby. This is probably the quickest turnaround I've had when someone has shown me something they want me to make! I'm pretty sure I was so compliant to do so this time because this particular dessert had some booze in it!

    It doesn't take long to whip it up and put it in the fridge to set until its time to bring out the dessert! I can't take credit for the recipe, the one that was shared with me was something someone posted on Facebook from The Tipsy Bartender. There were no instructions on how to assemble the ingredients so I decided to just took the elements of the recipe, scale them down to fit about 6 cheesecake shots and wrote out the instructions on how to assemble. If you want to make more than 6, then just follow my instructions with the amount listed on The Tipsy Bartender. You will have some very happy friends. I promise!

    While this was excellent with Fireball Whisky, I do believe that it would be just as amazing with Amaretto. I'm also thinking a chocolate version is in my near future, or even one made with some Irish Cream Whisky!

    Notes
    You can scale the calories and fat down some by using reduced fat or fat free cream cheese. The amount of heavy cream doesn't add that many calories however, to scale the fat down more you can switch to skim milk. I don't think it would make a huge taste difference in doing so.[br][br]Nutrition facts calculated on MyFitnessPal.com

        Fireball is a cinnamon flavored whiskey. Black Cherry Rum would be great in this!
