What do you all think??

Besides changing the whole look of my blog, I’m also expanding my concept. If you notice on my new “Recipes” page, there’s categories for all sorts of food now beyond just baking. I’m still going to bake up plenty of sweet treats, but I’m also going to have fun with appetizers, main dishes, and lots and lots more!  I’ll give you the grand tour though next week because I also have another fun little announcement!

Today I am so honored to be guest posting over on Kim’s fabulous blog, Cravings of a Lunatic! Her blog is obsessively good. And I mean it. She comes up with the most delicious and creative treats! Trix Krispies?? Snickers Snack Cake?? Turtle Ice Cream Pie…??

So when she asked me to guest post for her I knew it had to be something a bit out of the box and of course delicious! That’s why I came up with these little Very Berry Cheesecake Pie Bites! Aren’t they cute??

These are super simple to make – just pie dough baked up in muffin tins with a layer of creamy cheesecake, sugary blueberries and raspberries, and buttery cinnamon crumble! And they’re portable which is perfect for summer get togethers! No mess, no fuss, and frees up your other hand for a cocktail.

So I want to give another HUGE thank you to the fabulous Kim and go check her out and my mini pie recipe over at Cravings of a Lunatic!

Ingredients :

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust “2 pie crusts”
  • For the streusel
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Berry Filling
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

How to Make Probiotic Power Plate Tempeh and Asparagus Stir Fy :

Step 1

First make the crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs look like wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of mini muffin cups or silicone molds to form the crust. Place in the fridge for about 15 minutes to set.

Step 2

Second repare the cheesecake filling: in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix well. Then gently fold in the whipped cream until everything is fluffy and well combined.

Step 3

Third assemble the Bites: spoon the cheesecake mixture on top of the crusts in the muffin cups. Smooth the tops with a spoon or spatula. Add fresh berries on top place one or two per bite for a nice pop of color and flavor then chill: put the muffin tray in the fridge and let the bites chill for at least 2–3 hours “overnight is best ” so they set nicely and are firm enough to hold their shape.

Step 4

Finally serve: carefully remove the bites from the molds, place them on a plate, and decorate with chocolate drizzle, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if you like. Enjoy.

Probiotic Power Plate Tempeh and Asparagus Stir Fy Tips :

Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in your filling.

Crush your graham crackers finely so the crust sticks together well.

If you want a firmer crust, bake it at 350°F “175°C” for 5 minutes before chilling.

Try mixing different berries on top for a colorful look.

For a shortcut, you can use store bought mini pie shells instead of making the crust.

Add a drizzle of melted white chocolate or dark chocolate for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Shortcut Crust : use store bought mini pie shells or pre-made graham cracker crusts to save time.
  • Even Portioning : a cookie scoop or tablespoon helps evenly divide the cheesecake filling into each shell.
  • Stabilize the Filling : add a spoonful of whipped cream or yogurt to lighten the texture and make piping easier.
  • Neat Topping : pipe or spoon filling slightly below the rim so berries don’t slide off.
