Mini cheesecake cupcakes step-by-step recipe with photos.

About this recipe

Those who know me or have followed my food journey know my love for cupcakes and the fact that I prefer baking cupcakes over whole cakes. Then why not bake cheesecake as a cupcake rather than a whole cheesecake!

Creamy cheesecake with a layer of biscuit crust and topped with berries is a delightful dessert perfect for parties and celebrations. In fact, I find mini cheesecake cupcakes way better than a whole cheesecake. These Mini Cheesecake Cupcakes are made in a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.

And the best part is that they can be served as per your liking – just as-is, topped with berries, chocolate sauce, jam – there are so many opportunities. Make these extra-special treats for your next party or celebration and please your family and friends with this delightful dessert.

In this recipe, I have made these cheesecake cupcakes with cream cheese and a bit of citrus zest to uplift the flavour.
