Mini Lemon Cheesecakes with fresh berries-the perfect light dessert

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.

Mini Lemon Cheesecakes with fresh berries are a refreshing addition to any occasion. I love fresh fruit and being able to use it as a beautiful decoration also.

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.

About Grace

When I was younger, I was constantly in the kitchen helping my mom bake. It was fun getting to play with the flour and always getting to lick the spoon. I’ve always expressed an interest in baking and now I feel that it’s the right time for me to take over. I am a college student working towards a nursing degree as well as a full-time aunt to the sweetest little kids (they might pop up in some of the posts). I’ve learned most of what I know about baking and cooking from my mom, and I am continuing to self-teach through trial and error, which means plenty of sweets to be eaten. Read more...

    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!

    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!
