  2. I love mini cheesecakes so much! My mom taught me how to make them when I was young and I remember making them for every school event I had! haha! My little secret was that I used Nilla Wafers for the crust 😉 I just placed a wafer in the bottom of each liner. 

  5. the nilla wafers seemed such a good idea…. i think i’m gonna try this with oreos as crusts!! (cause oreo’s are awesome!!)

  7. Those look so good. I have not made any cheese cake in ages. Thank you for the recipe.

  12. I just made these. It doesn’t say when to mix the lemon juice in though so I accidentally left it out completely. Hopefully they will still taste good! 

  13. Thanks for the excellent recipe!!! I have made these in the past but this recipe blows the others out of the water!!!!! I added the lemon juice in with cream cheese mixture and it just makes it that much better 🙂

    • Sure – I would probably bake them for an extra few minutes since the cheesecake will be a little thicker. 🙂

  17. When you say “white sugar” in the filling ingredients do you mean white confectioners powdered sugar or plain white granulated sugar? Trying to make these this afternoon and don’t want to mess up!! Thanks!!

    • I’m sorry! Took a day off with sick kids and missed your comment. It’s granulated sugar. I’ll change it in the recipe so it’s clear for others.

      I hope yours turned out great! 🙂

  19. I can’t wait to make these. I’m glad you showed all the step involved makes it simple for me to do. My husbands family has a lot of people who come over on Sundays to watch sports and this will make so many  at one time to take there and I know they will love them.

  22. I absolutely love cheesecake & these little bites look so tempting! Can’t wait to try them!

  24. I never thought of this! These and the cookies and cream looks so goo. I’ll have to try them.

  25. This is the best recipe I have found yet to follow. I want to make these for my students. How many does one of your recipes yield? I want to make sure I make enough for plenty of hungry little kids. Thanks!

    • I’ve made them again since the original recipe (and also based on other people’s input), I’d say this should make at least 2 pans of 24 mini-cheesecakes and some or all of a 3rd pan of 24 depending on how thick you make them.

  30. These would be great for a party with lots of desserts! I dont know though with them being so small I may feel at liberty to eat more!

  31. I have made these and they are so yummy! And if you dont have any cupcake liners you can just spray the pan with Pam and they come out just fine.

  34. These are perfect for a baby shower we are helping with. Is this something you can make the day before and just refrigerate?

    • Definitely. When we make them, we always keep them in the fridge and eat them over the next few days. 🙂

  35. I made these today and they turned great!  One problem though…I have a huge amount of crust leftover.  I measured the amounts exactly according to the directions.  What do you do with all of this leftover crust?  I think maybe the crust measurements should be reduced by half.

    • Hey Donna, I must like a much thicker crust than everyone else? I’ve had a couple of people mention this, so I adjusted the crust measurements a little.

      Thanks so much for your input! 🙂

  37. Hi Mickey…Love the recipe but I just wanted to say, I used 1tsp of crumbs instead of the 1/2 tsp you called for and still had a lot more crumbs than filling…lol…wonder if I did something wrong, but followed the recipe to the letter…they were delicious though!  Thank you and Happy Holidays!1

    • Hey Lisa,

      I’m so glad you liked them! I’ve had a couple people mention the crust amount, so I adjusted it a little. 🙂

      Thank you so much for your input! Happy Holidays!

  38. What a great recipe. I just finished mine and had one. I wanted to eat them all so bad!!! Great website full of wonderful and mazing food recipes, keep going Helicopter
    Mom!!! 🙂

  40. I have to do this. Funny too becausde I was just thinking of making a cheesecake…guess it is meant to be and I need to give this one a shot. It looks great and I love the individual ones

  42. I love this recipe! It would be great for family dinners or pot lucks because you could also serve some plain or with other toppings like blueberry! Thanks so much for sharing!

  43. These look so cute and delicious.   I would love Strawberry or blueberry topping too.
    or chocolate.   Yummy

  44. Oh yum , I love cheesecake. These are so easy to make and you can use peach or strawberry instead of cherry. You can also just put a Vanilla wafer in the bottom – save the step of crumbling the graham crackers. You could also use chocolate graham crackers too

  46. These were soooo easy to make and delicious too. I won’t be buying cheesecake anymore!!!!!!!
