A bright and vibrant miniature dessert!
This is not a new recipe to me but it is a new recipe to The Rose Table. I’ve been making these mini cheesecakes for years topped with jam but I’ve updated it with my homemade blueberry sauce, which I just published last week.
This is a great make-ahead recipe for a party because the cheesecakes are easily good for a week and the sauce keeps well too. Make both days before your party and then all you have to do is spoon the sauce on top before guests arrive!
I served these beauties at my Cinderella Ball because I wanted something light and fruity that also fit with the blue theme. While these aren’t sky blue, I still think this is an awfully Charming addition to the menu.
Thank you to my grocery partner Tom Thumb for supporting The Rose Table and this recipe! It’s partnerships like this that keep The Rose Table ad-free. I used O Organics cream cheese and O Organics sweetened condensed milk in this recipe and I’ve never made fluffier mini cheesecakes!
