Mini Lemon Cheesecakes with fresh berries-the perfect light dessert
OK, you need to watch out, these cute little gems are a triple threat.
Just look at the name-
Mini-I love mini anything. Single serving, portion control, easy serve, less guilt.
Lemon-it’s my all time favorite fruit flavor, nuff said.
Cheesecake-rich, creamy, cheesy. It’s cheesecake and I love it any way I can get it.
*Bonus-this recipe only makes 6 mini cheesecakes so if you have no self control (cough, cough) you’re still limited on your intake based on supply. You can easily double the recipe if you need to.
*Double bonus-they just look so pretty with a few fresh berries on top.

Pretty, easy, and delicious? What could be better?! Cheesecake is a weakness of mine, so portion controlled recipes are great!
Thanks Wendy. The only downfall of these is it’s just too easy to grab a second one!
I love how you’ve already built in portion control by creating a mini cheesecakes as well as a recipe that makes only 6 cakes because otherwise, I would certainly be in trouble. I may still eat all 6 because I’ll definitely be making these. I adore lemon and cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. These are simply lovely!
Thanks so much Kate. I may have eaten more than my share of these so I’m really glad there were only 6 to start with!
Oh mini cheesecakes are so hard to resist! We’d love to have you add these to our link party!

No self control around cheesecake? You’ve obviously met me… 🙂
Fabulous looking, I love your checked cupcake wrappers!
Thanks! I found the wrappers on clearance and had been waiting to use them for a special dessert. Cheesecake is always special!
Love your new website – so fresh and bright! Anything mini is perfect especially a bite sized delight like your cheesecakes!
Thanks Lisa, still getting used to WP but cheesecake makes everything better!
These are too cute, perfect for a cheesecake fix!
Thanks Laura!
Very pretty and Springy Joan!!! Love the mini check cupcake liners and, of course, all your berries 😉
I love everything about these little cheesecakes 🙂
Thanks Suzanne!
I love how you only made six. I would definitely eat them all before anyone else even saw them. The berries make them healthy right? 🙂
Shannon, these are definitely healthy! 😉
Cheesecake is my favorite dessert ad these would be perfect for a Memorial day party!
Cheesecake is one of my many downfalls Roxana!

These are so pretty Joan!
Oh my goodness I bet these are just so good. I’d definitely have one … or two right now 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing with us at Weekend Wonders. Hope you’re enjoying your week so far!
Thanks Jessie, it is hard to eat just one!
Just made these! They smell and look amazing! 🙂 if your really looking for portion control, I just doubled the recipe and made 48 minis in my mini muffin pan using mini nulla wafers! Worked perfectly!
Just wait till you taste them Jen! Love that you made mini “minis” although I’d probably loose all control if I could pop them in my mouth like candy, I have no control when it comes to cheesecake!
oh these look wonderful and I love how fresh and summery they are!Thanks for sharing on Show Me Your Plaid Monday’s!
Such cute cupcake wrappers. Nothing like mini sweets…especially cheesecake. A very spring cheesecake idea:)
Thanks Lora!
Love the lemon and berries for the spring!
So, so cute! The fresh berries are perfect for spring! Thanks for sharing at Time To Sparkle!
Thanks Tonia, I love adding berries, just brightens up any dessert!
These are perfect for me! I have absolutely NO self control when it comes to cheesecake and I love all things mini! Thanks for sharing with us over at Real Housemoms!
Very cute looking and yummy dessert!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for linking to Make the Scene Monday @ Alderberry Hill. You are being featured this evening!
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, and join me tomorrow evening for Make the Scene Monday #72!
Hooray for small batch cheesecake recipes! 🙂 Love that. I do not need to eat like 3 pounds of cream cheese. And those fresh berries! Yum.
Beautiful! Just the perfect size too! thanks so much for sharing on Busy Monday!
Yumm! They look so good and seem like such a perfect party food!
Glad I found you on Show Me Your Plaid link up.
Thanks Laura!
My only comment is I would prefer to see see real juice of a lemon rather than lemon essence. Fresher taste & better for you than chemicals
Mini Muffin LIners or the regular sized?
Jennifer, these are regular sized muffin cups.
thanks! Has anyone tried making this and using the mini liners?? thoughts? I was hoping to make these for a bridal shower — looking for a bite sized dessert option
Hi! These look delicious and I want to make them for my daughter’s 1st birthday party. I was wondering if you’ve ever frozen these once they’re baked? I know you can buy the Cheesecake Factories’ cheesecake in the frozen section of the grocery store, but I am just not sure if these would hold up well. Trying to plan and do as much ahead as possible!
Hi KT, I’ve frozen homemade Cheesecake before but not these since the recipe only makes 6. I don’t see why you couldn’t freeze them. Happy birthday to your daughter!
Thank you so much! I’ll freeze them and let you know the results!
I have been craving cheesecake lately, but have been avoiding having a big cheesecake sitting on the counter whispering to me..so I tried this recipe today! I didn’t have Vanilla Wafers but I used an oreo instead for the bottom crust! Fabulous! Thanks for the “smaller version” of a classic- wonderful- I recommend it to everyone!
