    These bite-sized cuties take less than 20 minutes to make and are a fun sweet treat to entertain with for a party or holiday!

    This is a picture of a plate of mini cheesecakes.

    A dessert tray with a variety of flavors is always a hit with guests. These cheesecakes can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. They’re also fun to get creative with and a show-stopper at a party. With a short assembly and bake-time, they’re a great option to make when you need to whip up something sweet in a hurry! Bonus, miniature versions of any food are flat-out adorable!

    What You’ll Need

    • Mini Vanilla Wafers
    • Cream Cheese
    • Sugar
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla
    • Cheesecake Toppings

    Tools You’ll Need

    • Hand Mixer
    • Scoop
    • Mini Cupcake Pan: 1 pan has 24 wells, and this recipe makes 40. You can either bake 2 pans at a time or bake one pan then refill the pan and bake again.

    How to Make this Recipe

    1. While the oven preheats to 350°F, line 40 mini-muffin pan wells with cupcake liners. Place one wafer, flat side down, in each well.
    1. For the filling, beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla and beat again until blended well. This will usually take about 1 minute.
    2. Using your scoop, divide the filling evenly into each prepared cupcake well.
    1. Bake the cheesecakes until they are just set, about 12-14 minutes. You’ll know they are done when they don’t jiggle and are on the verge of cracking. They’ll firm even more up as they cool.
    1. Allow the cheesecakes to cool completely at room temperature and then refrigerate until ready to serve. You can garnish the cheesecakes before refrigerating or wait and garnish when you’re ready to serve them.

    Tips and Substitutions

    • The topping options for these are nearly endless, but here are several to get you started:
      • Fresh Fruit
      • Fruit Sauces
      • Pie Filling
      • Chocolate Sauce
      • Chocolate Ganache
      • Whipped Cream
      • Caramel
      • Fresh Mint
      • Crushed Cookies
      • Lemon or Lime Curd
      • Sprinkles
      • Peanut Butter
      • Nuts
      • Candy
      • Chocolate Shavings
      • Matcha
      • Magic
      • Ice cream
      • Magic Shell Topping
      • Hot Fudge Sauce
    • You can also freeze these one bite cheesecakes! They will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month. Either leave the cheesecakes it in the refrigerator overnight to defrost or take them out at room temperature for 4 hours. Wait and garnish them when you’re ready to serve.
    • Stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, these are great for up to 3 days. The crust will soften some as they’re stored.
    • These can be made in a 12-cup muffin pan as well. Line the pan with regular size muffin liners, use regular vanilla wafers and bake 15-17 minutes.
    • These are best served at room-temperature, so allow them to set out at least 30 minutes prior to serving.
