📝Ingredients
For these miniature cheesecakes, you need the following ingredients:
- 16 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sour cream
- Fillings (lemon curd, strawberry jam, blueberry jam, etc.)
👩🏻🍳How To Make Crustless Cheesecake Bites
To make these cute little cheesecakes, you begin by creaming the cream cheese and sugar. Once it is smooth, add one egg and beat well. Add the other egg – rinse and repeat.
Next, add the flour, vanilla, and sour cream.
Blend it until it is smooth and creamy.
Divide the batter among 24 miniature muffin cups and bake in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. (That’s around 176 – 177 degrees Celsius, right?).
Bake them for 16 – 18 minutes until the tops just start to become golden and the middles are not jiggly. (For those who like more technical jargon, bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.)

Love these! I’ve made the mini versions and have also made them in individual 4 inch ramekins. Last made the mini version for my friend’s wedding reception two weeks ago and they disappeared in a heartbeat. Topped with homemade chocolate whipped cream (2 cups heavy cream whipped with a 3.4 oz instant pudding mix) and topped that with Luxardo maraschino cherries for a fancy feel. Definitely a keeper recipe!

Homemade chocolate whipped cream and maraschino cherries – 💖 – you are speaking my love language. I can see why they disappeared quickly.
Lisa says
Can these be frozen?
Lynda says
I have not tried it, but I would think they could be frozen.
Amanda says
Can these be made using regular sized muffin tins?
Lynda says
I have not tried it, but I am sure you could. There is a recipe for Cheesecake Bites at The Dizzy Cook and they are baked at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
Please let me know if you try baking them in regular muffin tins and let me know how they turned out.

I have been making your mini cheesecake recipes for the past few month as a treat for my son, who loves them. I would like to use the batter in a 6-inch springform pan rather than the muffin tin as I have been doing. Can you suggest what you think the oven temp. should be and how long to bake in a 6-inch pan rather than in a muffin tin? Thanks in advance.
Lynda says
I am so delighted that your son loves them!
I haven’t tried it, but I found a recipe online at Chocolate Moosey for a 6-inch cheesecake that is made using a water bath. I recommend that you read the entire post before trying it to help ensure success. (She bakes her cheesecake at 325 degrees for 65-75 minutes.)
