These Patriotic Mini Cheesecakes are delightful individual dessert treats perfect for festive occasions. Creamy, rich cheesecake filling is baked to perfection in mini cups, then topped with fresh, colorful berries to create a visually stunning and delicious dessert that celebrates the colors of the flag.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Batter

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup (135g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated, creating a smooth cheesecake batter.
  2. Fill mini cups: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease well. Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly into each mini cup, filling about 3/4 full.
  3. Bake the cheesecakes: Place the mini muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still slightly jiggle. Remove from oven and allow cheesecakes to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  4. Add berry toppings: Once chilled, top each mini cheesecake with an assortment of fresh berries—strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries—to achieve the patriotic color theme. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Do not overbake; the centers should still jiggle slightly to keep the cheesecakes creamy.
  • Chilling the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours ensures proper setting and easier removal from liners.
  • Feel free to customize the berry toppings according to seasonal availability or preference.
