Everyone loves mini desserts.

Small bite sweets have been a favorite around here for a long time. Not only do we love them, but our guests do too. Whether you're having a few people over, throwing a big party, or taking dessert to a potluck people just appreciate something small.

These little cheesecakes join two others that combine perfectly to make a tray with a variety of selections. Lemon mini cheesecakes have a layer of cheesy goodness on the bottom and lemon custard on top. Chocolate Chip Small Bites are fluffy goodness with miniature chocolate chips throughout.

For even more variety on your dessert board offer these two bite Coconut Tarts. They're made in phyllo shells, too.

For a boozy twist to your mini selection you'll want to add Mudslide Pudding Shots and Key Lime Pie Pudding Shots.

Is Pecan Pie just for fall?

The short answer to that is No! Like our Sweet Potato Praline Pie, pecan pie is great around the holiday season, but we love pecan pie and we keep pecans in our freezers at all times. A classic pecan pie is one of our signature family recipes at Biscuits & Burlap and you can stir one up in just minutes and pop it in the oven.

Two favorites combined in one perfect little bite

We took the simple cream cheese based filling from the mini chocolate chip cheesecakes and crowned it with a pecan pie flavored topping.

These Pecan Pie Cheesecake Mini's will be perfect on a plate when you're serving just your family. Combined with other small bite sweets they're an option that everyone will love.

A few tips to be sure your Pecan Pie Cheesecake Small Bites turn out perfectly:

  • Lightly toasting the pecans really brings out the flavor and gives them an extra bit of crunch. (We toast them for our Chocolate Covered Pecans and Butter Pecan Syrup too. Another easy treat you'll want to make soon.)
  • Briefly "crisp" the phyllo shells in a hot oven per the instructions on the box.
  • Easily fill the phyllo shells by piping in the cheesecake layer with a pastry bag or any baggie with the corner cut off.
  • Be sure to not overfill the shells. You want to have room for the pecan pie filling on top.
  • Chilling your bowl and beaters ensures your whipping cream is nice and fluffy

    I love a bit sized portion instead of an entire slice. It's just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth without overindulging. These are delicious as a party presentation as well.

    Can you freeze these? Can i replace the sugar with Stevia to cut the carbs a bit?

      Hi Kathleen,

      We have not tried either, but I think you should be able to successfully freeze them. We've frozen our Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes and they were great. We've also frozen Pecan Pie and that works out well.

      As far as the stevia, I'm afraid I just don't know. I don't have any experience in cooking with it, only using it for things like sweetening drinks. If you try it please come back and comment and let us know how it turns out.

      Hi Stella, They should be fine - maybe slightly less crisp on the bottom, but not noticably. Most of the phyllo shell packages have instructions for "crisping" them in a hot oven empty for just a couple of minutes before filling and I would definitely do that if you want to make them ahead.
