These lush White Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Cups are the perfect mini cheesecake treat. Easily made ahead of time and perfect for a party these cheesecake cups will be your new go to. Switch out the cherry pie filling for apple pie filling for another great flavor!!
The other day I felt like cheesecake. White Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Cups to be exact. So I ran to the store took the cream cheese packets out of the box and put them on my dashboard and kept holding them to help them get soft. You must have softened cream cheese for cheesecake and then you have to bake it, let it chill, the whole process is really too long for someone as impatient as me.
These were worth the wait though. I loved the crust, I used Golden Oreos, I think it's my new favorite crust 🙂
These cheesecake cups are part of the Chocolate Party hosted by Roxanas Home Baking. I joined the party in February and I have loved each month. This month was my "challenge" month since I am not a fan of cherries, but I did like these cheesecakes. :)Be sure to check out Chocolate Cherry Bars and see all of the other bloggers involved in the chocolate party!

I just read another chocolate party recipe over at The Spiced Life - love your interpretation of the chocolate and cherry challenge also! I've never seen cherry pie filling. I'll have to look out for it (not sure that it's sold here in Australia?). Thanks for the lovely recipe!

I love the small size of these cheesecakes and the white chocolate.
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel says
Hahaha the cheese-on-the-dashboard thing sounds like something I would do! I am hideously impatient for anything to come to room temperature and usually commit a baking crime by using cold butter, eggs and cream cheese because #yolo. Not really. Also, punch me for saying 'yolo'. And then give me a cheesecake cup.

I found this recipe on Pinterest and brought these to work for a potluck and they were a huge hit! The recipe made 18 little cheesecakes. The white chocolate in the mix added just the right amount of sweetness and flavor, but not a super strong white chocolate flavor. The cheesecake tasted fantastic, and the crust was amazing. Will definitely be making these again!
Elizabeth says
So pleased you enjoyed the cheesecake cups! The Golden Oreo crust is one of my favorites!!
