Mini Cheesecakes

Published: | Updated: | By Ashlee

Jump to Recipe

I think Potluck foods should be easy to make, delicious, and easy to serve!  People always ask if I bring cakes to holiday parties, BUT as much as I love cake I think a full cake is hard at parties. You need to have a knife to serve and a fork to eat it, SO I don’t bring cakes unless it’s specifically requested. I think something already in serving portions, like these Mini Cheesecakes, are perfect!

These are fast and easy to make, AND you can make them a few days before so you can get it done and not worry about them again (one less thing to put together the day of the event).  Of course you don’t have to have a holiday party to make these, you can make them for your own family for fun! My kids love these little bite sized desserts!

My husband isn’t a cheesecake fan, so when I cook an entire cheesecake I tend to be the only one eating it, and even I have a hard time with an entire cheesecake by myself!  So the other thing I love to do with extra cheesecake is freeze them and dip them in chocolate, SERIOUSLY so good, I have an addiction to frozen cheesecake dipped in chocolate. And these little cheesecake bites are perfect to simply freeze and dip!

      thank! They are really very good, even my husband, who isn’t a cheesecake fan loves these. I think it’s the ratio of cherries to the small cheesecake bite!

    • Ashlee

      Nope, never, I think in the end you usually end up eatting as many of these little ones as you would just eating a normal slice! But somehow it SEEMS like less!

    • Ashlee

      Mmmm me to, the kids and husband ate them all the second I finished my photo’s! I need to get invited to a holiday party to make some more!

    These taste so good!! Curious, how did you keep them from falling all apart though? They sat overnight and when I took them out of the pan they just crumble all up. Followed the recipe. The taste is great, just got a little messy. 🙂
