Red, White & Blue Cheesecake Bites - Easy Mini Cheesecakes - Food Wishes 

These also pair well with beer. ;)

I’m making this for Xmas. Slice of strawberry, slice of kiwi. Red and green cheesecake bites!

They now sell pre-crushed fine graham cracker crumbs in American grocery stores now. Just in case someone wants or needs to skip the first step of this recipe.

Ginger snaps are a great crust option but that's up to you. After all, you are the Uncle Sam, of which crumbled up cookie you put into your tin sprayed with Pam.

I just finished making my brother a baked cheesecake for his bday, just finished doing the chocolate curls for the top and sat down for a well deserved beer and bang! Food wishes is on, lifes good, cheers

The flattened idea for crust is friggn brilliant. Thank you

2:18 Teddy Grahams are a great choice if you want a mellower ‘graham’ flavor

For The Fourth it has to be Philly Cream Cheese!! I hold this truth to be self evident.

"I did the whole package of graham crackers, which is about double what you need..." Me, taking notes: so the rest is just half the recipe...

Your recipes are always real solid. Your points and advice on technique are literally gold. Its been almost a decade for me watching and its always good! Thanks Chef.

Its a good dessert for the 4th of July .

These look great! Everyone needs a nice, light, red-white-and-blue dessert for Independence Day. I'm making that retro midcentury red-white-and-blueberry Jell-O salad.

Keep up the good work, you never let your fans down with great entertainment 😎

WooHoo! Rock on favorite uncle Chef john!

I can see making these and being able to eat every single one of them!😂💯 Happy Birthday & Happy 4th to me!🥳💖

Chef John making my July 4th menu is not just convenient, but fun! I will be adding this to the ribs and slaw cookout menu. Thank you!

my mom and grandma use nilla waffers for the bottom instead of crumbs and it works great also

Looks lovely and delish. Cheesecake in any size is so good.😋

I'm watching this, while eating your Antipasto Pasta Salad, which I made earlier today! It's become one of our favorites for summer, along with State Fair Lemonade!

*The cleanist Oven on RU-vid*

Making these tomorrow. Thank you Chef John

Omgosh yes then you have to clean it! Me trying to use the same dishes in the kitchen as much as possible lol . I make my own vanilla too!

They are perfectly color coordinated with Independence Day !

Ran to the store yesterday and making these today and very much looking forward to it! And love using one pan to crush the cracker in the other.

Shortbread or butter cookies crumb crust! YES! 😍❤

I use biscoff cookies.

Made it yesterday with waaaay too rich cookies with waaaaaaay too much butter for the crust, and the whole thing was absolutely amazing. I did it all without an electric mixer too, and it wasn't a problem at all. So good!

mmm cheesecake

1 of my FAVs for Halloween-Xmas time of year. So tasty with an Espresso coffee drink. Thanks

Love these!!!!

Looks so good!!

Been waiting for this

Greetings from Redondo Beach CA🌷🌷This is a great idea to add on my appetizers list to entertain families and friends while waiting for the drone show. Thanks for sharing Chef John🥂

These look so good!

Lil' Bits. fits right in

Love them!

CJ didn't want to waste a ziploc bag busting up the graham crackers, and then proceeded to use 2 more in the video. lol

They look so good❤ Will definitely try them😊❤❤❤

This comment makes me proud to be an america, or Dutch, or French or Panamanian

When my friends finally start having their New Year’s Day open house again, I’ll be bringing these!

I Love my Delicious Homemade New York Style Cheesecake with Vanilla served with Cherry Vanilla Compoté this is my Favourite Baked Cheesecake and I am making it today 💖🍒🎂 Chef John and I must have a Cheesecake Connection

Nice ❤ cheese cake is the best dessert! 🎉

I love cheese cake. Almost as much as C.J. 😂. Yummy recipe

Made these and they were great!

Happy 4th yall! 🎉🇺🇲

Cheesecake....the god and lord among lords of deserts for me. Such simple, cheesy, sweet, light, and decadent supremacy.

used to make something similar.. Use Nilla Wafers as the base instead of all that work with graham crackers then use a no bake cheesecake (cream cheese and instant pudding) as the filling.

I tried this on the 4th! Man, they were a hit! ❤

I know exactly how you feel about having to clean up a food processor. I hate that chore too. But I plan to make baklava for each of my family's July birthdays (3 of them) plus the family reunion offering this year (first time since the start of the pandemic madness), and chopping up all those pistachios and walnuts by hand is going to be too much *sigh*. So I guess I will just grin and bear it, and clean up that sucker afterwards.

I’m so glad you popped up in my algorithm today I have missed you

I love making these

I missed the date, so i did a paw shaped one instead. delicious. wish i could show you!

Hey Chef, why not plug the red and white version for Canada Day - July 1

What better way to commemorate the end of democracy as we know it this weekend than with these patriotic cheesecakes! Chef John, you are frankly my go-to guy/channel for a receipe when I need one for a special occasion. Thanks for all your years of blood, sweat (and probably sometimes tears) making your consistently well-made, engaging and delicious content!

thanks

He has the best grandpa voice ever 😊

Nice

I love the “little touch of white sugar”

Ingredients: Crumb Crust: 1/2 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs 1 tablespoon white sugar 2 tablespoons melted butter 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract Cheesecake: 1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature 1 lime, zested 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 2 large eggs Whipped Topping and Fruit: 1/2 cup cold heavy cream 1 tablespoon sour cream 24 slices fresh strawberry 72 fresh blueberries Directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 2 12-cup mini muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray, and use your finger to make sure the inside of each cup is well greased. Place muffin tins on a sheet pan. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon sugar, butter, and 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl until crumb mixture resembles wet sand. Spoon a slightly rounded teaspoon of crumb mixture into the bottom of each cup. Use a spoon to spread crumbs into a relatively even layer. Set one muffin pan on top of the other and press lightly to compact the crumbs. Repeat with the other pan. Combine softened cream cheese, lime zest, and 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl, and beat until light and fluffy with an electric mixer or whisk. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, flour, and 1 egg; beat until egg is incorporated and mixture is smooth. Add remaining egg; whisk until smooth. Transfer batter into a piping bag, and pipe into the muffin tins, filling them all the way to the top. You can use a spoon; but a piping bag is neater and takes much less time. Use a skewer to stir each cup to remove any air bubbles. Tap pan on the counter to settle batter down. Bake in the preheated oven until batter rises slightly and very small cracks appear on the surface, 20 to 25 minutes. The cheesecakes on the inside may cook more slowly than the ones on the outside, and may not rise as high or crack. Let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Remove from the tins. Wrap and refrigerate cheesecakes until fully chilled, at least 30 minutes. To make whipped cream topping, whisk cold cream in a bowl until soft peaks start to form. Add sour cream, and continue whisking until medium-stiff peaks form. Top each cold cheesecake with whipped cream, 3 blueberries, and 1 strawberry slice.

I'd love to try this with other possible cheesecake flavours as well. Any adjustments needed do you think when adding molten chocolate to the batter itself?

Crushed ginger snaps are also good.

I like that these are mini. I feel like I am not stuffing myself with a lot of calories. I will be making these for sure I have everything in my refrigerator now.

NICE

biscoff are billiiant sub (skip the vanilla maybe then) also that is NOT twice too much as needed

Chef John, And a happy 4 th of July to you. Thanks again for more great recipes.. cheesecake is a regular offering at all gatherings family and other. .I have made these sans the mini pan ( never invested) but w mini papers. The crumb part can be a bit tedious. Maybe not -? I use a shot glass to tamp down crumbs . All's well that ends well. Right? Keep those fingers away from any fireworks. And enjoy !! As always ks

Make hundreds of mini cheese cakes with just whipped cream finish, hundreds with blueberry garnish, hundreds with strawberry garnish and assemble the sweetest, most beautiful American Flag on your front lawn. You will, without a doubt, be the talk of the neighborhood and go viral around the world.

My entire neighborhood gets together for “Happy Hour” once a week….I will be making these for the next meet. However, I will bake mine in a water bath which will bake the cakes more evenly to hopefully eliminate the well in the center of the cakes.

We used to use crushed Vanilla Wafers for the crust.

I live in Miami Florida. I could use a few mangos recipes. 😊

please try ginger snaps instead of the G crackers especially for lemon flavored cheesecake

YUMMMMM ! Too pretty to eat !

I'm high as shit rn thought the vid said "Red White and Blue Cheesecake Bitches" and never clicked faster in my life.

😍

I’m thinking mini basque cheesecakes.

I’m silly so I’d use two blueberries and one strawberry to make a little face. 😊

Can I use vanilla wafers? Cuz I don’t have gram crackers and I’ve never used them before but I feel like it might be good.

7:04 "Around the outside."

Should use muffin liners

Looks delicious. But I never understand adding sugar to graham cracker crumbs, as they are already plenty sweet.

Yummy I'm going to do a keto version of these❤ Thank you Chef John and may you have a happy 4th of July.✨🇺🇸🎆✨🇺🇸💥🇺🇸🎆💥🇺🇸✨

Any particular reason Sour Cream was not added? Too watery?

What about no-bake cheese pies?

Splattering some food coloring on the plate could turn this into something that resembles a dish at a Michelin star restaurant 😅

Well my mom *did* ask me to make a special dessert for the 4th. Serendipity? 🤔

How would a 'tart' flavour be introduced to the cheese? Added lemon juice? - but then the batter may not set. Maybe add an extra egg? Or extra flour?

Thnx for honoring the dutch flag mate. 🇳🇱🤝🇳🇱

Vegan mini cheesecakes are excellent as well! Easy to make using cashews!

You are the Wookiee of which cookie.

A video that's not 11 years old from FW, I had to do a double-take 😄

The smaller the food, the less calories they have. 😆

Bake won ton wrappers in a mini muffin tin to make an edible bowl for cheesecake or,whatever.

🧁

Murrica, fu¢k yeah 🦅 🇺🇲

A professional chef's idea of an "easy recipe" is not my idea of one, lol

👀 *Promo SM*

The measurements for this recipe are off. I cut the recipe in half and ended up with fewer than 10 cupcakes that were not even half way filled. I’m disappointed and frustrated because I don’t have time to make another batch. Will not try this recipe again and would definitely not recommend others to make it.

They look like frowning 3-eyed monsters.
