HOW TO MAKE CHEESECAKE BITES
This no bake cream cheese dessert takes minutes to prepare! First, melt the chocolate. Use high-quality chocolate, preferably baking chocolate. Microwave at 30-second intervals, and stir each time in between until the chocolate is smooth.
Then coat the ice cube tray with chocolate, and freeze it for 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and no lumps. Add whipped cream, and mix well.
Fill each ice cube 1/3 full with the mixture. Add 1 raspberry and then cover the rest with cream cheese mix. Add melted chocolate on top and chill for at least 1 hour to set.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST MINI CHEESECAKES
- Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese for easy mixing.
- Leave your ice tray at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before flipping so that the cheesecake bites can easily come out.
- You can swap out raspberry for other favorite fruits such as blueberries, cut strawberries, kiwi, mango, etc. You can also add additional flavors such as lemon zest or pumpkin spice into the mixture.
- Turn these cheesecake bites into no bake cheesecake truffles by mixing in graham cracker crumbs or crushed Oreos with the cream cheese mixture and shape them into a mini ball using your hands. Chill until they are firm and dip them into the melted chocolate!
These no bake bite-sized cheesecakes are rich and creamy, perfect for any party!

Lauren says
When you say whipped cream do you mean whipping cream or actual whipped cream?
izzycooking says
Hi Lauren, Thanks for asking – it’s whipped cream 😉
JoAnn says
What is the difference?
Lydia says
Do you need to use a heavy whipped cream?
izzycooking says
Hi Lydia, Yes, whipped cream is heavy cream – same thing. Enjoy!
Amanda says
Hi! Have you ever tried with strawberries instead of raspberries?
Donna Munday says
I think they mean do you have to actually whip up the cream
Veronika says
Still not entirely clear on the whipping/whipped cream part of the recipe. Is that 1/4 c whipping cream whipped, or 1/4 c cream that’s been whipped?
Irene says
I was wondering if you would get the same consistency or make them just as good if you used maraschino cherries, on a count the raspberries are too tart?
taylor says
after taking them out of the tray do you put them in the fridge or back in the freezer until the next day ?
izzycooking says
Hi Taylor, you can store them in the fridge until you are ready to serve for a few days.
Eric says
Do you need to freeze these when finished? I Put them in the refrigerator and they didn’t come out so well. Used baking chocolate and greased the ice cube trays.
Izzy says
Yes, you need to put them into the freezer
