Mini White Chocolate Cheesecakes

Mini White Chocolate Cheesecakes are made with a simple graham cracker crusts and lightly sweetened with white chocolate. They may be little in size but are big on flavor.

With spring on the way, I love the lightness of white chocolate. Don’t get me wrong, I love the deep richness of dark chocolate or even the creamy goodness of a milk chocolate. However, as the snow melts and with the onset of sunnier days, I start to drift to lighter versions of chocolate.

Creamy cheesecake delicately sweetened with white chocolate and served with a side of berries make for a light and lively dessert that fits the bill perfectly.

Mini White Chocolate Cheesecakes Tips & Tricks

I know I’ve shared this before, but for a simple way to create graham cracker crumbs – without the mess, first place the crackers into a ziploc bag. Then after sealing the bag, start crushing the crackers with a rolling pin. Begin by pressing the pin down on the crackers and then start rolling across the bag to make finer cracker crumbs.

Then pour out how much you need for the recipe and seal the bag with any leftover crumbs for storage.

What I love about making mini cheesecakes is that I don’t have to worry about the cheesecakes cracking or the fuss of a water bath for baking. They’re so easy to make and in just 15 -16 minutes of baking they always turn out perfectly.

Plus, they really keep so well and can be a party planning savior. Because they have to be chilled anyway, they can be easily made ahead of time and served later on. Freezing is also an option that won’t wreck the flavor. Just freeze and thaw in the fridge for a few hours before enjoying.

Serve Them With Style

This is a very simple basic recipe that that flavor is so versatile and adding a wealth of other flavors will complement them beautifully. Try strawberries, whipped cream, blue berries, raspberries or even a lemon curd, they’ll partner well with anything you can throw at them.

In fact, at your next gathering, let your guests decide what they’d like these served with. Simply create a mini white chocolate cheesecake buffet and offer a variety of toppings to choose from. Sounds like a pretty awesome party to me!
