Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes are great for holidays, celebrations or anytime a dessert craving hits!
Cheesecake is probably my favorite dessert. When I was young and had all the time in the world, I would make a new cheesecake every week. These days I still love cheesecake just as much but I don’t bake it quite so often.
A little while back, I was digging through the cabinets and found my mini cheesecake pan and immediately baked up a batch of mini cheesecakes. They were gone in a flash and it didn’t quite satisfy my cheesecake craving. So I made a second round and this time I made a chocolate chip version. They were crazy-good and just perfect for parties or any holiday dinner.
I love any version of cheesecake and my Chocolate Cheesecake with Caramel Ganache has been going crazy on Pinterest. I have definite plans to make it again soon!
I’ve been pouring over all of the Thanksgiving magazines that have been coming in and getting some great holiday dish inspiration.
Some years we totally break tradition and serve a prime rib roast instead of turkey or ham. We haven’t decided for this year just yet, but you can be sure that these Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes will make the desserts menu. They are a family favorite.
Most years I could totally for go the meal part and just enjoy the appetizers and desserts but what’s the fun in that? Actually I’m never going to pass up prime rib, never.
Everyone will love these creamy, chocolatey, bites of cheesecake goodness so be sure to add them to your holiday party and dinner menus!

You have such Great Ideas
Love these goodies
Our family will love this dessert! I don’t have the pans, so will add to shopping list. I have been looking for something to serve and this is it.
Without the mini cheesecake pan, would paper or tin liners work inside a mini muffin tray? Would I still spray the paper or tin liners with nonstick spray? Thanks!
Without a mini cheesecake pan, can I use paper or tin mini muffin liners inside mini muffin tray? Would I still spray the paper of tin liners with nonstick cooking spray?
Hi Lisa,
I think that would work just fine. I don’t usually spray the liners. I hope this helps.
