Mini Cherry Cheesecakes
Sweet little Mini Cherry Cheesecakes are such a cute dessert to make and serve at just about any gathering. I was gifted this recipe at my bridal shower (I’m not going to admit how many years ago that was!) and it has been one of my go-to desserts for special occasions ever since. They’re simple to make, easy to serve, and can be changed up all kinds of ways. This is a really budget friendly dessert too. I usually try to find cream cheese at a dollar or less and stock up. This recipe makes about 18 mini cheesecakes from a muffin tin.
Variations on Mini Cherry Cheesecakes
Get creative and use other toppings! I have used peach, blueberry, raspberry and lemon pie fillings. All of them were beautiful and so delicious.Try fresh fruit too! Kiwi, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or any combination of fruit would make a gorgeous summer treat. If you are going to use fresh fruit, I would suggest a layer of whipped topping before adding the fruit to adhere it to the top of the cheesecake.Because these cheesecakes are meant for individual servings, you could offer a topping bar at your next party. Let guests top their own cheesecakes with all kinds of toppings, including those listed above, plus chocolate chips, nuts, butterscotch chips and candies. You can also drizzle them with chocolate syrup, caramel or butterscotch.Match the occasion! Change the muffin liners depending on the occasion. Each holiday or special event can have a certain color or special muffin liner that goes along with the theme or holiday. This is always fun to do when changing the topping too! Top with caramel, chocolate and walnuts for a turtle cheesecake. The possibilities are endless!
