Bright colors and sweet bites scream spring to me! It does not get easier than these Mini Funfetti Cheesecakes. These are a super simple and super creamy vanilla cheesecake base and studded with cute rainbow sprinkles.
I have a trick for my mini cheesecakes, and that is to use an Oreo cookie as the base. No crushing crackers or pre-baking here! The cookie works perfectly for a crust and it is the perfect size for a mini version of a dessert favorite. For these, I use a Golden Oreo versus the chocolate, but either is delicious depending on the flavor of the cheesecake.
Another plus of making a mini cheesecake is bake time! When I make a traditional size cheesecake it is a long process that involves baking, resting, and chilling. Typically is is an overnight wait, but the mini cheesecakes bake in under 20 minutes! I do like to put them in the fridge to set and chill, but it is a much easier process!
Spring Sweets Week has some pretty amazing sponsors and you can enter to win our prize pack and try a few for yourself! For my cheesecakes, I am working with Deiss Kitchenwear and I love their products. I was sent a 5-piece kitchen utensil set AND a zester. For this recipe I used the kitchen utensils, and I love them! Light weight, but really stable and sized perfectly. Their motto is innovative kitchen products to make your life easier- mission accomplished!
I am also working with Adam's Extract & Spice. I have worked with Adam's many times, and I love love love their products. Their extract is so delicious, and there is really no comparison to the rich vanilla flavor. It is perfect for these cheesecakes!
Finally, the beautiful sprinkle blend is courtesy of Fresh April Sprinkles. I am using the Unicorn Trail Mix blend, and the colors are so incredible. Fresh April Sprinkles has really pretty and colorful seasonal blends as well. I can't wait to get more for holiday baking!
