Raspberry Swirl Mini Cheesecakes – Deliciously smooth and creamy mini cheesecakes that are infused with vanilla, topped with a sweet raspberry swirl, and have crunchy biscuit crusts!
Raspberry Swirl Mini Cheesecakes
I absolutely love mini cheesecakes.
They’re quick to throw together, and much easier to make than one large cheesecake. They are also made in a muffin pan, so a lot less messy to serve, too.
These mini cheesecakes are incredibly smooth and creamy, topped with a raspberry swirl, and have a sweet digestive biscuit/graham cracker crust.
If you’re looking for the perfect bite-sized treat to serve up this Spring/Summer, give these cheesecakes a try!

Ingredients you’ll need
Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these cheesecakes. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.
For the Crust
- Digestive biscuit/graham cracker crumbs
- Caster/granulated sugar
- Unsalted butter: Melted.
For the Cheesecake
- Cream cheese: Softened to room temperature.
- Caster/granulated sugar
- Large eggs: You’ll need 1 egg and 1 egg yolk, room temperature.
- Vanilla extract
- Greek-style yogurt: Makes for extra creamy cheesecake.
For the Raspberry Swirl
- Fresh raspberries
- Caster/granulated sugar
How to make Raspberry Swirl Mini Cheesecakes
To make these cheesecakes, simply stir together the biscuit crumbs and sugar. Add the melted butter and mix until all the crumbs are moist.
Divide the mixture between muffin cases in a 12-hole muffin pan, and press firmly into an even layer.
Bake for 7 – 8 minutes, then allow to cool whilst preparing the cheesecake.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and yogurt until combined.
Divide the mixture between the prepared muffin cases.
For the raspberry swirl, add the raspberries to a food processor or blender, and pulse until pureed.
Press through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl to remove seeds and pulp.
Dollop small amounts of the raspberry sauce on top of the cheesecakes, and use a toothpick to create swirls.
Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until slightly puffed up and just set. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then refrigerate for 2 – 4 hours.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.
Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

For the cheesecake filling can I use full fat sour cream and for the swirl can I use frozen raspberries that are defrosted and drained and then continue to pulse and strain them.
Can frozen blueberries used instead.
Can this recipe be made into miniatures with correcting the baking time. Do you have any idea what this could be.
I am very excited to try this recipe using some version. Looking forward to your response

Yes, you can use sour cream and defrosted raspberries. You can also use blueberries. If making these any smaller, you need to bake them for less time - keep checking on them after the 10 minute mark. Enjoy! :)
