There are two parts to these tasty and popular raspberry cheesecake cups – the crust and the filling. 

The Crust 

• Golden Oreos: These cookies have the perfect flavor for the crust. You could also use vanilla wafers.
• Butter:  For the best results, use unsalted butter.    

The Filling

• Jello cheesecake pudding: This makes it taste like a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake.  
• Heavy cream: This makes the delicious cheesecake recipe extra creamy.  
• Powdered sugar: The texture of the powdered sugar mixes in with the other filling ingredients seamlessly.  
• Raspberry syrup: This adds the iconic raspberry flavor and pink color. 
• Raspberries: Divide raspberries so you save some to add to the dessert cups.  
• Granulated sugar: This sweetens the filling perfectly.  
• Whipped cream: Use this as a fluffy and delightful topping. 

How to Make Raspberry Cheesecake Cups

• Step One: Place the Golden Oreo cookies in the food processor, and pulse them into crumbs.  Add the melted butter and pulse until well mixed.  Fill the bottom of the dessert cups (or muffin cups) with the crumbs, about two tablespoons in each cup.  Place in the freezer.

• Step Two: In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the Jello cheesecake pudding, whipping cream, and powdered sugar, and whip with the whisk attachment until thick and creamy, about two minutes.  Start the mixer on low until ingredients are blended, then turn on high to whip thick. 
• Step Three: Remove the dessert cups from the freezer, measure out one cup of the pudding, and pour 1/4 cup into each dessert cup.  Place the cups back in the freezer for about an hour.  

• Step Four: In the mixing bowl, add the raspberry syrup, and blend until it is mixed and pink.  Place the sugar on the raspberries, and stir to coat.  Place the raspberries and all the sugar in the mixing bowl, and mix until well blended and the color is a bright raspberry pink.  If the color is not bright enough, add a few drops of syrup, more raspberries, and a teaspoon of sugar.  Blend well, and place in the Refrigerator.
• Step Five: When the cheesecake pudding has been set, remove it from the freezer, and add a layer of crumbs, equally to each of the dessert cups, on top of the white layer.  Remove the raspberry cheesecake pudding from the refrigerator, and pour evenly, filling the dessert cups.  Place in the refrigerator overnight for best results.  Before serving, top with whipped cream and a Fresh Raspberry.  Serve, and Enjoy!

Equipment Needed

What to Serve with Raspberry Cheesecake Cups

These light and fruity cups are a popular dessert for parties. Here are some of my favorite desserts to add to the table along with them.   

• Chocolate Chip Cookies
• Orange Creamsicle Cookies 
• Lemon Zucchini Bread 
• Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes 
• Lime Cheesecake Parfait

Variations and Substitutions

• Change the fruit flavors. For example, use strawberry syrup and fresh strawberries. 
• Use graham crackers. You can make a buttery graham cracker crust with just graham crackers and butter.   
• Dust with chocolate shavings on top.
• Drizzle with melted white chocolate.
• Make it in a muffin tin. Line it with cupcake liners to make it easier to clean and eat. 

Storage Instructions 

These raspberry cheesecake bites are easy to make ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days. 

Raspberry Cheesecake Cups Tips and Tricks

• I used Torani brand Raspberry Syrup for this recipe.  You can find it on the coffee aisle in most stores or where they keep syrups for drinks or ice cream.  You can also order it online.  If you can’t find this brand, you can use other raspberry syrup. 
• If you don’t have a stand mixer, use a hand mixer. While you can mix this by hand, mixing the cheesecake batter will be much easier if you use an electric one. 
• Chill the dessert cups in the refrigerator overnight before you serve them to your guests. 

Can I Use Frozen Raspberries?

Even though fresh raspberries will taste the best, you can make mini raspberry cheesecakes with frozen raspberries too. I suggest letting them thaw entirely first and then patting them dry with a paper towel. 

Where Do I Find Raspberry Syrup?

You’ll find raspberry syrup in the coffee section of the grocery store. I suggest buying it on Amazon if you can’t find it there.
