These mini cheesecakes make for a great sweet-and-salty treat! They feature a salty pretzel crust and a creamy cheesecake layer. Since they come together so easily, they're perfect for parties and holiday celebrations. Plus, a little festive decoration takes these from ordinary mini cheesecakes to special, Mini Snowmen Cheesecakes!  

What You'll Need

  • PRETZEL CRUST
  • 1 1/2 cup finely crushed pretzels
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 stick butter, melted
  • __BLANK__
  • CHEESECAKE FILLING
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. Combine pretzels and sugar in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add melted butter and continue to pulse another 10 seconds or until mixture is moistened. Add about 1-1/2 tablespoons of crumb mixture to each liner. Gently press and flatten mixture with your thumb to make an even layer in the bottom of each. Bake 5 minutes. 
  3. To make the cheesecake filling, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Fill each liner 3/4 full. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until cheesecake is set. Remove from oven and let cool 30 minutes. 

Notes

Just before serving, top each cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream and your favorite holiday candy treat.
