Perfectly portioned as bite-sized treats, these cheesecake bites combine the classic flavors of red velvet cake with the rich texture of traditional cheesecake for an irresistible dessert that’s easy to make and share.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of mini muffin tins or a square baking pan lined with parchment paper, creating a sturdy base for the cheesecake bites.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until the mixture turns silky smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently to keep a light texture. Blend in the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, red food coloring, and flour, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  3. Assemble the Bites: Spoon the cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust, filling each mini muffin cup about three-quarters full. For an artistic touch, swirl extra melted chocolate or cream cheese on top using a toothpick, if desired.
  4. Bake and Cool: Place the filled pan in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) and bake for 15–18 minutes until the edges are set while the centers remain slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, carefully remove the cheesecake bites from the muffin tins or cut into squares if using a baking pan. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy the decadent, luscious red velvet cheesecake flavor in perfect bite-sized portions.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smoother cheesecake batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light texture and prevent cracking.
  • For an extra touch, swirl melted chocolate or cream cheese on top before baking.
  • Chill the cheesecake bites thoroughly as this helps them set and improves texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
