    MINI CHERRY CHEESECAKES — These fun, mini desserts feature an Oreo cookie crust with a creamy cherry cheesecake filling, topped off with cherry pie filling.


    Mini Cherry Cheesecakes

    I just love serving miniature sized desserts, and these Mini Cherry Cheesecakes are a new favorite at my house!

    My husband is a huge fan of cheesecake, as well as any kind of cherry dessert, so I knew he would give these little cheesecakes two thumbs up.

    But I was honestly surprised at how much I loved them. I mean, I figured they’d be tasty, but I had no idea just how delicious they would be.

    The Oreo crust is definitely a must in this recipe. That extra bit of chocolate flavor really elevated these cheesecakes above a typical graham cracker crust.

    Although if you prefer, I think you could definitely sub Golden Oreos in this recipe. And of course, using a cookie as your crust is such a genius shortcut.

    Mini Cherry Cheesecakes

    Of course, it kind of defeats the purpose of the mini desserts when you eat two or three at a time like I did. But these little morsels of cherry cheesecake were just so hard to resist.

    I found it worked best to add the pie filling when I was ready to serve the cheesecakes. In fact, some of my kids liked them better without the additional cherry topping.

    It think it was because without the topping, they could eat their dessert without utensils. But with or without the cherry topping, these cheesecakes are heavenly. 

    And yes, I’ll definitely be trying this recipe with other flavors of pie filling. Blueberry is next on my list.

    If you’re looking for an easy dessert to serve at during the season of backyard barbecues and potlucks, you’ll definitely want to give these Mini Cherry Cheesecakes a try.
