World’s Easiest Mini Cheesecakes

World’s Easiest Mini Cheesecakes
1 package of Jello no bake cheesecake mix (I prefer to use the classic kind so that I can do different flavors)
Milk (I believe it calls for 1 ½ cups milk)
1 package of mini graham cracker pie crusts (they come in 6 packs normally)
Mix the no bake cheesecake mix.
Pick a flavor, any flavor!
Add Cheesecake mix to pies.
DONE
Ok here’s the deal with this one. Yes I love real cheese cake; but it’s a pain in the ass to make and time consuming. Also trying to get the temp down for small pies is not fun.
I love New York cheesecake with strawberry sauce. I also love caramel and apple cheesecake.
So what I do is I take the pre-packaged single servings of caramel dipping sauce for apples. I then take a spoonful of the wonderful stuff and spread it into the bottom of the crust. Take a good crisp apple (honeycrisp if I can find it) chop some up into little pieces and put it on top of the caramel. Top it off with the cheesecake mix and it’s done.
For the strawberry cheesecake it’s even easier. I chop up some strawberries, toss them in sugar(YUM) put it in the pie pan and top off with the mix. DONE.
If you want you could do peanut butter and chocolate. Spread some peanut butter into the base of the crust, add some chocolate sauce on top of the peanut butter and top it off with the mix.

Some side notes: You will end up with more mix than pie pans. You can toss it or get more mini pie crusts and make more flavors. I don’t mind tossing the extra because it takes a while for me to go through 6 mini cheesecakes by myself. If I’m entertaining then I’m probably going to make an effort to make real cheesecake. But this is a great way for me to satisfy my craving and not put a lot of effort into it. Real cheesecake recipes to come soon!
