Today’s recipe is recommended by Dr. Liz Graham Lightfoot, wildlife biologist, mate to Michael Lightfoot, heroine of BAD MOON (whose story is added to in MOONSTRUCK: SECRETS), and cheesecake aficionado. She swears by these little yummies but suggests that you double the batch (or hide half of them! 😉 ). If you want any, that is. 🙂
