These look yummy….and fairly simple to make. Might just have to add this recipe to my holiday baking list. I think .grandma would be impressed 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
I printed this one! Except for the cranberry sauce, I have everything I need to make these. I might make a few with blueberry sauce too because there’s a few people I know who don’t like cranberries.

These look so good! I love making mini cheesecakes when entertaining because the large ones are a pain to cut sometimes.
This is good recipe for all the leftover cranberry sauce I usually have after holiday dinners.
These look gorgeous and delicious! I love the tart taste of cranberry, and paired with the rich creaminess of cheesecake … there are no words! Thank you for sharing!
These look so good and so festive. I can’t wait to make them. I’ve pinned them to make for Christmas as a treat when my friend comes over for our gift exchange. She and I will love them with a coffee.
