Guys, you can’t beat this mini cheesecake recipe. It is fast, so yummy, and whether you make them in little jars like this or in a muffin tin they are adorable to look at! This is the perfect recipe for hosting company, serving at a shower or just making Sunday dinner extra special! 

Mini Cheesecakes 

For some reason growing up I always assumed cheesecake would be difficult to make, and therefore, intimidating. If you feel the same way, these easy mini cheesecakes are the perfect place to start! 

If you love cheesecake type recipes you will also love our cherry cheese pie, or our easy lemon pudding cheesecake! Or find all our dessert recipes here.

How to Make Mini Cheesecakes: 

As you can tell from the pictures, these little beauties can be made in a muffin tin (with or without liners), or in individual little baby food jars. I like to use the jars for special events like baby showers or family parties! When I am just making them for a family treat I just use the muffin tin.

You can actually top these beauties with anything you want: chocolate, caramel, strawberries, you name it! However, my absolute favorite mini cheesecake topping is this raspberry puree. I love all things raspberry and I think it is the perfect addition. In the past I have also done a little cheesecake bar where people can choose their own toppings, and that is super fun too!

Isn’t everything better in miniature? Less than 60 calories each for these mini cheesecakes! Here’s how you make them.

What do you top mini cheesecakes with? 

Anything you want really! I love topping mine with fresh fruit like raspberries, strawberries or blueberries. Other fun options are any type of pie filling, chocolate or caramel sauce or even jam! 

The raspberry puree I used on these was this Torani brand, it is so dang good! Also, here are some cute re-useable baby food jars and an awesome muffin tin if you need one! 

If you make this recipe and enjoy it, we’d love for you to leave a positive comment and review, they mean so much to us!

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbs white sugar
  • 2 tbs butter melted
  • 2 8 oz packages of cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • raspberry puree optional
  • raspberries and mint leaves to garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°. Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter with a fork until combined. 
  • Grease or paper your muffin tins and add about a tablespoon of graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each cup. Push down with fingers to firmly pack so crust holds together. Bake for five minutes and remove from oven, but keep your oven on. 
  • In a medium bowl or bosch mixer beat together your cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes) and then mix in your eggs. 
  • Add cream cheese mixture on top of each crust until about 3/4 full. Bake at 325° for 25 minutes. Try not to open the oven door to limit cracking. 
  • Let cool completely before removing from pan and refrigerate until ready to serve. 
  • Garnish with a teaspoon raspberry puree, raspberries and mint leaves if desired! 

Notes

The raspberry puree I used on these was this Torani brand, it is so dang good! Also, here are some cute re-useable baby food jars and an awesome muffin tin if you need one!
