This Mini Cheesecake Recipe is such an easy peasy dessert, and it tastes gourmet. There are few things you can add to them depending on if you like blueberries, cherries, lemon, and whip cream. This basic mini cheesecake recipe and the sky’s the limit.
Ok, I have a confession to make about this recipe. So, a couple of days ago, I wanted only to make a quarter of this dessert. I set out to quarter the ingredients and thought this would work. Well, when the cheesecake mixture had a runny consistency, I quickly realized that something is amuck.
Yup, I had quartered some ingredients and halved others. Not sure where my brain was, but most undoubtedly it was on vacation.
Well, this recipe is from my mom, and I remember that it was so delicious when she made it. So, back in the kitchen I went and halved the recipe correctly.
It is scrumptious as I remember and I’m glad I tried it a second time and that I’m sharing it with you today. It is seriously so easy to make, and it tastes and looks like it is a gourmet dessert.
So impress your friends and family with this yummy, mini cheesecake recipe!

This is so easy and the batter is amazing. My husband licked the spoon and said, “oh wow!” This would be good with any topping and by itself. I did not have vanilla wafers so I pulled banana cookie dough out of the freezer; baked those cookies and broke them to fit in each cup as the crust. These are delicious! They are easy and quick to make and would be great to nest among the cookies in a tray.
Thank you for sharing this.
I’m looking at your buckle recipe for next week in a peach flavor!
