Looking for a quick and easy dessert? Try this no bake mini cheesecake recipe! These pink desserts are perfect for Valentine’s Day, Bachelorettes, girls weekends, or just because!
Will you be celebrating Valentine’s Day this year? Whether I was headed to a movie with girlfriends or hanging out with my new beau, I always had plans. These days life is a little (read: a lot) less exciting on Valentine’s day. Children and a distinct lack of available babysitters make date nights a lot harder. But a mini cheesecake recipe will save any Valentine’s Day!
Don’t they always say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? Last year I made my husband some delicious Bacon Chocolates (seriously… sooo good!), but this year I’m baking up another one of my delicious mini cheesecake recipes!
There’s nothing better than a dessert in its own little container, is there? You can make this cheesecake in a pie dish, but I usually go for individual servings in mason jars.

It looks so lovely. Would the recipe work if you swapped out the peppermint extract for another flavor? My hubby isn’t a fan of peppermint.
Yes! If you don’t like peppermint, try one of these recipes:

Would 4 oz Mason jars work for this recipe?
Yes! Absolutely!
Awesome recipe!
I was just looking for ideas on what to make for my parent’s wedding anniversary and this fits the bill perfectly.
Keep up the great work:-)
I tried this recipe but it didn’t set it is still runny. What size of can is the condensed milk? Is there something that I can do to fix it??
It’s not the same texture as a baked cheesecake, it will always be a bit runny. But it tastes delicious!
