Cheesecake Pops
Party perfect and oh-so-delicious, these cake pops are mini bites of New York cheesecake heaven. Cut into 2-bite portions and dip them in velvety dark, milk and white chocolate. You can make your own homemade cheesecake or to save some time, use a store-bought cake.
Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake
These mini swirl cheesecakes are filled with a creamy mascarpone in a crunchy chocolate crust. They’re simple to make with minimal oven time since only the crusts are baked.
Biscotti Ricotta Cheesecake
This cheesecake uses biscotti or cantucci as the base for the crust and the filling replicated a cannoli filling with hints of chocolate and citrus – so creamy, but light-tasting, too.
Lavender Cheesecake
Not just any crust will do for an ethereal cheesecake like this one from Anna Olson. Mascarpone cheese with lavender and riesling are paired with a light sponge to create a beautiful dessert.
