Mini Cheesecakes

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you might have discovered that I have a thing for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. A big thing. I named my son after them. You get it now right? So another one of my addictions great loves is cheesecake. Combine the two and you have Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Mini Cheesecakes.

What Are Mini Cheesecakes

Mini Cheesecakes are just like a regular cheesecake – except smaller. They are great for parties because they are single serving size and can be hand-held. Just pick up and go!

This mini cheesecake recipe uses a muffin tin. It’s really the perfect size for mini cheesecakes and they look so cute! I have served these many times at various parties – especially for Reece’s birthday parties! You can imagine I go a little Reese’s crazy for Reece 😉

If Reese’s aren’t your thing, you can easily substitute your favorite candy in place of the Reese’s. Maybe Snickers, Milky Ways, etc. Just buy the mini size and you’re good to go!

What Do I Need To Make Mini Cheesecakes?

This mini cheesecake recipes use the same ingredients that a traditional cheesecake recipe would use – you just need a mini cheesecake pan, or muffin tin, to make them. This brand here is the same brand that I recommended in my Must Have 25 Kitchen Gadgets collection. Excellent quality!

For the crust:

  1. graham cracker crumbs
  2. sugar
  3. butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
  2. cream cheese
  3. sugar
  4. all-purpose flour
  5. eggs
  6. vanilla extract

For the topping:

  1. Reese’s Peanut Butter chips
  2. chocolate chips
  3. shortening

How To Make Mini Cheesecakes

  • Place a cup liner in each cup of your muffin pan.
  • Make the graham cracker crust.
  • Press the crust into the bottom of each cup.
  • Place a Reese’s in the center of the crust in each cup.

  • Prepare the cheesecake filling.

mini-cheesecake-filling

  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the Reese’s and bake.
  • Let the cheesecakes cool before serving.

If you simply can’t wait – been there, done that – these mini cheesecakes are sensational when the chocolate is all ooey-gooey and melted but they really are better after they’ve cooled and chilled for awhile.

Mini Cheesecake Topping

The topping is really optional but what I do is so simple and I love that it gives a kind of sneak peek into what’s inside the cheesecake.

I simply melt peanut butter chips in the microwave and then use a fork to swirl the melted chips over the top of the cheesecakes. Do the same with the chocolate chips and voila! Magical!

Author Trish - Mom On Timeout

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp butter melted
  • 12 miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
  • 16 oz ight cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Reese's Peanut Butter chips
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp shortening divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Place a cup liner in each cup of your muffin pan. Make the graham cracker crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs, 3 Tbls sugar, and 3 Tbls melted butter. Combine until nice and crumbly.
  • Press the crust into the bottom of each cup. I use about a heaping tablespoon of the mixture for each cup and then use the bottom of my ice cream scoop to flatten the crust down.
  • Remove the wrappers from the Reese's. You will want to unwrap 14 total. 12 for the cheesecakes and two for a quick snack. Place a Reese's in the center of the crust in each cup.
  • Beat the cream cheese until nice and fluffy. I use the light cream cheese so I can have two cheesecakes but you could use regular cream cheese if you would like ?
  • Add in the sugar, flour and vanilla and continue beating until well combined. Add in the eggs one at time making sure they are well incorporated.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the Reese's, evenly dividing the mixture among the 12 cups. I use about ¼ c of the mixture for each cup. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the cheesecakes are set.
  • Let the cheesecakes cool - or don't! They are so good when the chocolate is all ooey-gooey and melted but they really are better after they've cooled and chilled for a while. Melt the peanut butter chips and 1 tsp of shortening in the microwave and then use a fork to swirl the melted chips over the top of the cheesecakes. Do the same with the chocolate chips. Enjoy!
  • Makes 12 cheesecakes. Store in refrigerator.

    I wish there was a way to manipulate the recipe for 1/2ing the recipe. I am a FACS teacher and would love to be able to use the recipe and adapt for sizing of the ingredients. Is this possible? I also know sometimes when you 1/2 recipes they do not always come out the same. What do you think? Thanks. They look amazing. 🙂

    This was a delight to make. Went for the 3/4 cups of sugar great choice for those that don’t have a huge sweet tooth. Also added a few Choco chips to the batter just to spice things up. Will def be making these for my next picnic this summer 🙂

    I made these last night and they were a HUGE hit – my family devoured them in a matter of hours. I left out the flour because I didn’t think it was necessary and the cheesecakes puffed up prematurely, I was wondering if the flour is to compensate for the higher baking temp? I ended up lowering the oven to 325 and they started baking more evenly then.

    The only thing I’ll do differently next time is use maybe 3/4s of a cup of sugar instead of a full cup, it was a little sweet for my taste but still delicious and I’ll definitely be making them again.

    Made these last night for a birthday party on Sat. AM. On half I used the graham cracker crust and an Oreo crust on the others. I refrigerated them for an hour and then the husband and I sampled one (really, just one!) I must tell you that this is a keeper of a recipe and I can foresee making them many times over. Btw, cheesecakes of most any kind freeze very well. That’s where the other 11 are now, not only so I won’t be tempted but also because there is a few hours travel time involved to get them to the birthday girl!

      So sorry that happened! Next time try putting the muffin tin in a jelly roll pan or baking dish and fill it part way with water to make a water bath. If you don’t have a baking dish that large, put any container of water on the rack below the cheesecakes and that should eliminate the problem 🙂

    Thanks for the recipe and idea. I made mine in my mini-muffin pan so they are bite size and used the Reese’s minis in the bag that are already unwrapped. Wonderful.

      How long did you bake them using the mini muffin tin? I was thinking of using the unwrapped minis, too. I’m having a party & there will be multiple desserts.

        I made these in a regular muffin tin. If you make them in the mini tin using the unwrapped minis I would estimate the baking time would be about 10-12 minutes – just keep your eye on them!

      Shortening can be found next to the oil in your grocery store. A heaping tablespoon is slightly more than one tablespoon – just make sure the bottom of your liner is completely covered with the mixture. Good luck!

      To make gluten free I use broken up gluten free oreos style cookies.

    These look amazing! I’d better not make them when I’m alone in the house or I might eat them all!

    Portion control? What’s that? I’d be having about 4 of these in one sitting Trish. LOL What are you doing to me? These look absolutely to die for! (I’m thinking of changing my name to Reese! I love them that much too.)
