When I was little and we were going to a family party my mom would often times make Mini Cheesecake Bites topped with cherries. Everybody always loved them…especially me! Now that I have a family of my own, I like to make these for parties and baby showers. They are always such a huge hit! They are super easy to make and you can make them the night before!
I made them for the Super Bowl and my kids proved to be just like mommy – they ate WAY more than anyone should admit to! 😉

Important Note: You need Nilla Wafers MINI sized for this recipe!!
Because these are mini in size it is best to use a mini muffin tins like this below with mini cupcake liners.
You can use regular sized muffin tins but you would need to use regular sized Nilla Wafers and cupcake liners then.
I prefer to use my handheld mixer with the Pro Whisk when making these Mini Cheesecake Bites because it’s much easier to control and it gets the batter really nice and fluffy!

Hi Stephanie,
the Mini Cheesecake Bites Recipe looks really nice. Great for portion control. I can’t wait to make it for our family. One problem. The webpage contained everything about the muffin tins, the nella wafers, but the recipe wasn’t posted.
Would you please email me the recipe.
Bonnie.
