These mini cheesecakes can be topped with everything from strawberries, blueberries, and cherries to chocolate sauce and caramel. You can use either fresh fruit or canned pie filling. My personal favorites are blueberry and strawberry. If I buy strawberry pie filling I’ll often add fresh chopped strawberries to it too! They’re easy and so delicious!!
Cheesecake is one of my all time favorites and baby bite sized cheesecakes are the perfect dessert to bring along to any party!
