Prepare your mouth to be hugged! This is the best cheesecake recipe I have tried so far. I actually found this recipe on a cream cheese box and wanted to give it a try. It turned out splendid! They are super easy to make and have a very smooth texture. So I decided to share this yummy recipe with you guys.
Kids absolutely adored them. They were asking for more, but this recipe makes only 18 mini cheesecakes so I will be making a double portion next time. They’re so easy for their little hands to hold, and get devoured quicker. I have used the Blueberry Coulis Sauce that my daughter Elona made to drizzle the top of the mini cheesecakes and placed some fresh farm-picked blueberries that were given by my aunt. Absolutely divine!
I took them out of the foil molds as stated by the recipe, but I learned that it’s easier to keep them in the molds until they are ready to eat, because they are a bit sticky. I will not be taking them out of molds next time I make them; it’s easier to serve that way especially if you are making them for guests or church gatherings. Great turn out and super delicious; just melts in your mouth and leaves you wanting just one more bite. 🙂

You are very welcome! I’m so glad you guys liked it. 🙂
making second attempt of this delicious and gorgeous mini cheesecakes.
Aren’t they tempting. I’m glad you like them.
Can I use paper molds instead of foil one? Thanks
My daughter will be making them for this Sunday and that’s what she asked me too. I don’t know. We will experiment that and let you know. If you use foil they come out very easy leaving nice cupcake shape.
so did it work with paper mold instead of foil one?
because I am planning to use paper one.
thanks
The cheesecake may stick more to a paper molds and not peel off well. Give it a try and let me know how it went. Thank you for your comment.
Are those regular-sized muffin tins? Or are they the mini ones?
Those are regular size muffin molds. Thanks for asking Anna.
Has anyone tried without the foil wrapper. Making these right now and realized I don’t have any ? So I have to use paper.
I made these and they were delicious! Thanks for the recipe:)
Thant’s awesome! I’m glad you liked them and thank you very much for the review! 🙂
This was my first time making cheesecake (I personally do not like it) but my husband loves it so I made these for his birthday. He said they were the best, I don’t think anyone got a chance to have any as he ate them all lol. Great recipe thank you.
I’m so happy to heat that! I love cheesecakes and mini serving of it is best. Thank you for an amazing review 😀
this are absolutely B.E.U.T.F.U.L! I BET TASTY TOO!
Yes, they are! We make them pretty often, because we just love them THAT much 😉 They are great one serving dessert, and always a big hit at parties. 🙂
bin etwas irritiert, dass niemand die Sauce erwähnt….
gut das ich das Rezept vorher noch in aller Ruhe mit den zugehörigen Zutaten lesen konnte, aber ich finde leider keinen Hinweis, wo und wie die Sauce zu machen ist…???
viell. kann man ja die Sauce, die bestimmt auch ein tragender Teil zum Gesamtkonzept ist, noch schnell nachreichen?
lieben Dank
I’m sorry, can you please recomment in English! I do not understand what it’s saying. Thanks.
Can you make these the night before?
Absolutely! Just keep then refrigerated. Enjoy!
Why did they cracked on top. ????are they suppose to??? I am taking them to bible study tonite..
Hi Helen. The cracks are ok on top the cheesecakes. You will top them with cream, sauce and then blueberries. To prevent cracks next time you make these, make sure they are baked over steaming water. (Preheat oven. Place baking pan onto the oven. Pour boiling water into a baking pan, place cooling rach over baking pan and then place cheesecake pan with cheesecakes onto the cooling rach). Bake as instructed. I hope this helps. Thank you for trying out my recipes. 🙂
Mine cracked also and sunk soon as I took them out what did I do wrong
Hmm… its hard to tell what went wrong without me seeing the preparation process. They sinking could be from over baking. Ovens differ from each other and your oven is probably stronger and the cheesecakes got baked faster. Try baking them for 15 minutes next time and prevent any shaking after baking. Let them sit and cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes and then carefully take them out. Craking is ok. Sometimes my crack as well but sinking is not normal. Try it again, practice makes perfect! Happy Thanksgiving Nikki! 🙂
Absolutely fabulous!
Yes, they are absolutely delicious!
I made this 2 weeks ago and it was delicious. Followed every steps and ingredients. My family loved it! I will be making this for my son’s graduation party.
I’m glad to hear that everyone loved it! We love it very much too! BTW, made them for last Sunday’s dessert 😀 Gongrats on your son’s graduation! ?
I would like to make it in a pan instead of cupcakes, is there anything that I should do or change the measurements? Thanks!
You would need to use about 8 or 9 inch spring form pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with foil, place cheesecake onto a baking pan ( I use turkey pan), transfer into preheat oven, then pour boiling hot water (use tea kettle) into a pan little less then half way. Bake in the water bath for about an hour at 300 F. Then turn the oven off, open oven door just a little bit for the heat to escape, and let it cool in the oven for about 2 to 3 hours. Then remove from the oven refrigerate overnight or 6 – 8 hours before serving. This way the cheesecake will hold it’s shape and not crack. I will have to post a separate recipe for it do to so many requests. I hope this helps. And I would love to know how it turn out for you (share a picture ?).
Hi, can these be frozen? Would you defrost in the fridge? Wanting to make desserts ahead of a function and these next perfect!
These cheesecakes it self may be frozen, but not the cream or coulis sauce. Thaw cheesecakes in the fridge for at least 6 hours then decorate them with cream, sauce and fresh blueberries.
These were so delicious! Family started eating them as soon as they cooled down! Didn’t even have time to properly decorate the first half.
That is so awesome! It’s one of our favorites too! Thanks for sharing your experience with me 🙂
