I love these little bite size cheesecakes because they’re so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. They’re the perfect dessert for any party or get-together you might have coming up, whether it’s with friends, family, or coworkers.
These mini cheesecakes are so yummy, and they can be made ahead of time, which makes them even more perfect for entertaining!
And don’t worry, you don’t need to be a professional baker in order to make these cheesecakes! These recipes are easy enough for the novice baker and they’re perfect as an after-dinner dessert, or to take to a potluck.
They can be served plain, or topped with a variety of fruit toppings. We’ve used fresh strawberries, lemon curd, and raspberry jam.
But why not try different jams or preserves like our blackberry and apple jam, or other fresh fruit depending on the season? Chopped up pieces of mango or peaches would be great in the summer, while in the cooler months, why not use pears or even apple pie filling?

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, you can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).
