Bite sized cherry cheesecakes. Easy to make, delicious to eat, and makes nearly 7 dozen treats. That’s a lot of bites. Although, trust me when I say how easy it is to just polish off a good 3 or 4 (or 12) in one sitting.
This is one of my husband’s favorite desserts. I think it may be one of the reasons why he stuck around at my crazy family holiday gatherings (no offense family). He knew my mom would pull out a big batch of these. At least it gave him something to compliment my mom on food-wise (no offense mom, but we know how picky he is). Funny though. For a man who hates “goopy” and condiments, and cream cheese, and sour cream, and mayonnaise…he LOVES these.
Don’t worry, I won’t complain. I enjoy when the rest of the family likes what I make. At least then I’m not the only one wearing stretchy pants. Oh, wait, I’m sorry…”yoga pants.”

Bring on the “yoga pants” because cheesecake is definitely where it is at!!! You want to know something really funny? My husband can’t stand mayonnaise either:-)
I love this! These are cute and anything with cheesecake is delicious
my bf & his family LOVE anything cherry.
Aimee, you better believe I’m wearing yoga pants all Christmas break. Bring it on! Although, it’ll only mask the fact I still fit into clothes
but it’s ok, that’s what new years resolutions are for, right?
Those look delicious!! I am going to be trying this recipe out! I am your newest follower. I found you at Sweet Bees and Bumblebees.

Would love if you stopped by and said Hi:)
OMG. I died! My boyfriend will LOVE these since he just about licks the walls of the Cheesecake Factory whenever we walk by (read: he isn’t a wall licker; he just likes cheesecake A LOT).
Question: do you need to refrigerate these after they’re done baking and cooling like normal cheesecakes do to chill? If so, how long? Thanks!
Look at all of you trying to impress boyfriends. Yes ladies, it works, heehee!!
@Hayley, yes, put in refrigerator after baking. Top with cherry before serving (I keep the can of cherries in fridge too).
looks great! i bet it tastes great too!
I would definitely eat 4 or a dozen of these! Perfect way to serve cheesecake at a holiday gathering!
Blog hopping from This Chick Cooks…I can’t wait to try these! Perfect portion size…if you can stop at one or two! They looks so yummy, I might not be able to! Thanks for sharing
