Mini Cheesecake Recipe

Ok, guys, these little bites of heaven are just the treat you need after enjoying one delicious meal and you feel like you can’t possibly have another bite.

Well, I promise you that you can have just ONE MORE bite, especially when it is a 1-inch by 1-inch cheesecake bite.

These hit the sweet tooth spot perfectly!

How To Make This Mini Cheesecake Recipe

This is a no fuss recipe and doesn’t require much time in the kitchen. Plus, there is not baking involved!

Sooo, when asked what you should bring to your Easter celebration, offer to bring these little itty-bitty cheesecake bites.

1. Place wafers ( I used Voortman Bakery zero sugar seasonal Strawberry & Banana) in a food processor or blender and pulse 3-4 times or until crumbs form.
2. Melt butter and mix in prepared cookie crumbs.
3. Line a baking pan with mini cupcake liners and place a teaspoon of the crumbs on the bottom of the liner. Press forming a crust.
4. With a hand mixer whip together sweetener and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
5. Mix in vanilla and lemon juice.
6. Slowly whip in heavy whipping cream and mix until creamy and heavy peaks form.
7. Scoop cheesecake over the crust and add toppings if desired.

What Else Can I Use For The Crust?

If you don’t have cookie wafers, then you can easily substitute the crust in this mini cheesecake recipe for one of the following:

• Graham Crackers
• Vanilla Wafers
• Shortbread Cookies
• Oreo Chocolate Cookies

The ratio will remain the same as noted in the recipe card. It’s not necessary to add sugar, but if you want the cheesecake bites extra sweet, then add a couple of tablespoons of granulated sugar.

Can You Freeze Cheesecake?

Yes! Place cheesecake in an airtight freezer container and mark with the date. Freeze for up to a month to retain the best quality.

Freeze cheesecake without the topping. When you are ready to enjoy the place the cake in the refrigerator overnight. Add your topping right before serving.

Lower the carbs by using sugar-free wafers.
