Sharing is caring!

Cheesecake is a dessert that everyone loves. Right? No one says no to cheesecake. It’s sweet cheesiness is irresistible, which is why I decided to serve Mini Strawberry Mascarpone Cheesecakes at my latest gathering. Throughout the night I caught a couple people going back for seconds. The best part? You can throw these together in under 30 minutes.

The secret to saving time, and saving yourself the hassle, is to buy pre-made mini Graham Cracker Pie Crusts. You can find them in the baking aisle, and they taste just the same as homemade but without all the extra effort. I just whipped up a simple cheesecake filling, threw the cheesecakes in the oven, and added some strawberries on top.

This cheesecake recipe isn’t super sweet. I like the focus to be on the creaminess of the cheese and don’t like to sweeten it too much. Plus, the fresh strawberries add some sweetness too.

The plate in the photos was a gift from Strobly, an online shop that sells unique items from independent shops and makers. This is the Gold Puddle Plate which was handmade by Virginia Sin of Sin Ceramics in Brooklyn. I just think that it is so pretty and it is a fun new prop for my photos.

The only problem with these is they look too small! ;) I would love to try a recipe with mascarpone someday but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I am seeing it in the stores more often now! Thanks for joining us at the Family Joy Linkup, and hope you'll join us again this Sunday!
