Step 2: Make the Creamy Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold slowly to keep the mixture light and airy — this is what gives the cheesecake its melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Step 3: Assemble the Mini Cheesecakes
- Remove the crusts from the fridge. Using a spoon or small piping bag, evenly fill each crust with the cheesecake filling.
- Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon for a neat finish.
- Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until the cheesecakes are firm. For best results, chill overnight.
Step 4: Add Festive Toppings
Once the cheesecakes have set, it’s time to decorate! Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies, chocolate chips, or festive sprinkles on top. For a fresh touch, add a few cranberries or raspberries. You can even drizzle a bit of melted chocolate or caramel for a luxurious look. Let your creativity guide you — these mini treats are the perfect canvas for holiday cheer.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
