Patriotic Mini Cheesecakes are delightful individual-sized treats featuring a creamy cheesecake base baked to perfection and topped with fresh, vibrant berries for a festive red, white, and blue presentation. These easy-to-make desserts are perfect for celebrations and patriotic holidays.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Topping

  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until the batter is creamy and smooth.
  2. Fill the muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease well to prevent sticking. Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly into each cup, filling about 3/4 full.
  3. Bake the cheesecakes: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still slightly jiggle when shaken gently.
  4. Cool and chill: Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set and chill.
  5. Add the patriotic topping: Just before serving, top each mini cheesecake with fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries arranged to mimic a patriotic theme with red and blue colors.

Notes

  • For best texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
  • You can substitute fresh berries with frozen ones if out of season, but thaw and drain excess liquid.
  • Mini cheesecakes can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Use a water bath for a creamier texture if desired, by placing the muffin tin inside a larger pan with hot water before baking.
