Shortcake forms the crust that holds a rich and creamy filling piled high with a fresh strawberry topping. This easy cake uses a no-bake filling that sets in the fridge so you can skip the water bath typically used to make cheesecake. 03 of 16 Mini Blueberry-Lemon Cheesecakes View Recipe This muffin-tin mini cheesecake recipe is an adorable, healthy dessert that's the perfect cute size. If making 2 dozen seems like overkill, the recipe can easily be cut in half. If you avoid gluten, use gluten-free graham crackers to make the crust. 04 of 16 Carrot Cake Cheesecake View Recipe Will Dickey This orange-scented carrot cake cheesecake has a wonderfully moist and flavorful carrot cake shell which holds the creamy cheesecake portion. The swirl effect of dollops of cheesecake batter is a fun and festive way to round out this rich dessert. 05 of 16 Cranberry-Lemon Cheesecake Bars View Recipe Alexandra Shytsman These festive cheesecake bars are the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Cranberries add a pop of color and tang. To make your own graham cracker crumbs, process cracker sheets in a food processor until fine. 06 of 16 Mini New York Cheesecakes View Recipe These mini cheesecakes aren't just adorable--baked in a muffin tin, they're quicker to make than traditional cheesecake and perfectly portioned. 07 of 16 Key Lime Mason Jar Cheesecakes View Recipe These mini mason jar desserts are not only adorable; they also keep portion sizes in check!
