Raspberry Cheesecake Bites

I love making cheesecake. Mostly because I love EATING cheesecake. Recently my wife needed to bring a dessert to a potluck at work. Instead of making one large cheesecake, I made these cheesecake bites with raspberry topping.

I’ve been making cheesecakes for many years so I found this recipe very easy to make. The process is really no different than your traditional cheesecake recipe.

The beauty of this Raspberry Cheesecake Bites recipe is that you can use whatever topping you prefer or have on hand.

I needed to use some raspberry jam, so that’s what we made here, but you can easily substitute for strawberry, blueberry, and apricot. Basically whatever floats your boat!

If you’ve never made cheesecake before, it can be a little intimidating. What I have learned over the years to ensure a perfect consistency is to make sure you whip the cream cheese enough.

You should take the cream cheese out of the fridge a couple of hours before using it. When whipping, I would suggest a good 5 to 7 minutes.

While you can pretty much use any brand of cream cheese, I highly recommend you use Philadelphia brand cream cheese. You will taste the difference.

After the baking process is done, expect the center of each to be a little “jiggly”. This is normal. It will set up during the cool-down process in the fridge.

  1. These. Are. AMAZING. I have an obsession with cheesecake, and these knock Cheesecake Factory and so many others out of the park.
    Such a great recipe! A must try!!

  2. These cheese cake bites are to die for. They are incredibly easy to make and would go perfect for a get together. I made them in a regular size muffin tins, but for my next get together, I am going to make them in my mini muffin pan. The raspberry jam adds a great flavour. Will definitely make these again.
