These little Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bites pack a lot of flavor into a tiny package. A great (and delicious!) choice when you want simple grab-and-eat cheesecakes!
Two things I firmly believe: 1. Chocolate chips make most everything better. 2. Mini desserts are always irresistible. Put those two together, and you know these Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bites are sure to be a winner!
These mini chocolate chip cheesecakes have everything you love about cheesecake in a simpler, two-bite package. If you’re a bit nervous about baking a regular-size cheesecake, then these little versions are a great place to start. Plus, they’re just adorable, aren’t they?
Mini chocolate chips are ideal for these little cheesecakes. You can use regular chocolate chips, but you’ll only get a few per cheesecake. If you can’t get mini chocolate chips, then I’d recommend chopping the regular chocolate chips before adding them to the batter for better chocolate chip distribution.
I made the crust for these cheesecakes with graham cracker crumbs. You can, of course, use another cookie crumb for the crust if you prefer. Chocolate graham crackers, Oreos, vanilla wafers, or your favorite crunchy cookie would work, too.
These little cheesecakes don’t necessarily need a topping, but I can’t resist a little dollop of sweetened whipped cream and some chocolate sprinkles. They not only make them just a bit more aesthetically pleasing, but the whipped cream is a nice flavor and texture addition. And sprinkles because, well, sprinkles!
If you need some mini sweet treats for a party, a special occasion, or just because, give these Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bites a try. I hope you’ll love them as much as I do!

These cheesecake bites look so delicious! I love chocolate chips in cheesecakes ♥
Hi Jennifer,
Have you every played around with putting cherry pie filling on the top of these?
Hi, Lori. I haven’t tried that, but I think that would be fine to add when you’re ready to serve them.
Hi Jennifer! Your recipes are the best! These turned out sooo good. My kids wanted cheesecake but I didn’t want an entire cheesecake in the house so these were a perfect compromise. Oddly though I was left with at least a cups’ worth of graham crumbs. Not sure what I did wrong there. Anyway, this is definitely going in my recipe binder for future use!
Thank you so much, Lauren! I’m glad these little cheesecakes were a hit for you and your family!
