Tiny Cherry Cheesecakes image

I prepare these mini cheesecakes every Christmas and for many weddings. I've received countless compliments and recipe requests. When I send these along in my husband's lunch, I have to be sure to pack to extras because the men he works with love them, too. -Janice Hertlein, Esterhazy, Saskatchewan

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still pretty good. I think I would try using a different type of cherry topping next time.

These were so easy to make and they turned out so cute! I used a mini muffin tin and they were the perfect size for a single serving. The cheesecake filling was creamy and delicious, and the cherry topping was the perfect finishing touch.

I made these for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. The only thing I would change is that I would use a little less sugar in the cherry topping. Other than that, they were perfect.
