    If you are needing a dessert for the upcoming holidays these Mini Cranberry Cheesecakes will be absolutely perfect. Mini Cheesecakes topped with cranberry yumminess for the holidays. My daughter and I are big cheesecake fans. Our favorite fall cheesecake dessert is our yummy Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars. We have made those a couple of times this year. I have been debating about adding a cheesecake dessert to our Thanksgiving and Christmas dessert lists since both of us enjoy cheesecake almost as much if not more than pies (it’s a toss up…both are yummy).  So last week I figured I would make up a batch of mini cranberry cheesecakes. These cheesecakes are super simple and do not seem to be as intimidating as a larger cheesecake.

    We topped our mini cheesecakes with a cranberry sauce that was super simple. I am considering making a yummy pumpkin layer to top on these too!. I figure we could make a mini cheesecake tray with assorted toppings to please everyone over the holidays.

      Ooo, cheesecake and cranberries, one of my favorite combinations! I’ve made a big swirled one, but these little ones look so much simpler. And cute! :)
