Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts, but sometimes you only want a little and not a giant piece. These muffin sized cheesecakes are a perfect single serving, and a great canvas for you to customize to suit your tastes. Top with chocolate sauce, lemon curd, berries, or even jam warmed slightly to make it runny. Add a little whipping cream and berries, and you have yourself a pretty spectacular dessert! This recipe came to me from my friend Audrey, my partner in cheesecake crime.
How To Make Cheesecake Bites Recipe
Whip up a batch of these wonderful and creamy Cheesecake Bites. Apart from being a yummy dessert, they're also Kid-Friendly treats you can make with the family. Each bite is accompanied by crisp vanilla wafers and sweet cream cheese mixture with jam on top!
Ingredients
- 12 vanilla wafers, or chocolate wafers
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened (2 packages)

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
-
Line muffin tins with foil or paper liners.
-
Place one vanilla wafer in the bottom of each muffin cup.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until fluffy before adding the sugar and vanilla. Mix well.
-
Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl before adding the eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
-
Divide filling between muffin cups. Each gets ¾ full.
-
An optional method before baking is to place a teaspoon of the jam onto the muffin and use a toothpick to swirl the jam into the batter.
-
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until set.
-
Let the cheesecakes cool completely in the cups before removing them from the pan.

Gently peel the paper off the cups before serving. Enjoy a sweet and creamy batch of Cheesecake Bites!
Recipe Notes
- You can become creative with toppings by trying a spoonful of lemon curd or whipping cream. Warming up your favorite jam and spoon it over top, or chocolate sauce. You can also use cherry jam and chocolate curls.
- You can also freeze the cheesecake bites, wrapped and without the toppings, for about a month or so.
- Allow them to thaw in the fridge for about 30 minutes before topping and serving.
