Red White and Blue Mini Cheesecakes

There’s never a bad reason to have cheesecake, and these red white and blue mini cheesecakes are perfect any day of the year, but especially right now as you’re planning out your fourth of July barbecues and picnics. These mini cheesecakes are super simple to make and they couldn’t be any more adorable and perfect for the Fourth of July.

You could leave the fruit off, or change the fruit for different occasions as well, but I just love the cute strawberries and blueberries on top, the perfect summer berries, and the perfect red and blue color for these cheesecakes. The strawberries on my cheesecakes are exceptionally tiny because they’re from my own garden! But that means they’re extra sweet and filled with love too, right?

These mini cheesecakes are the same cheesecake base as my salted caramel apple mini cheesecakes. They start with a simple graham cracker crust, a delicious and creamy cheesecake filling, then for a little extra sweetness they’re topped with a quick homemade whipped cream and of course your fresh strawberries and blueberries on top.

I promise you need to have these mini cheesecakes as one of your desserts at your Fourth of July barbecue. You won’t regret it!
