Mini Ricotta Cheesecakes
These mini cheesecakes have freshly grated lemon and orange rind in them, which adds a lot of flavor. This lemon flavor is such a nice note in the mix of the cheese and honey. It’s paired here with a simple mini graham cracker crust so each one is small, sweet, and fun for kids and adults alike.

How to Store
All of the recipes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, though you’ll want to store the Cheesecake Ice Cream in the freezer. Refer to each individual recipe for the specifics on each.
Best Tips for Success
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature and very soft for the easiest blending.
- Taste the mixture and add more sweetener as needed, whether you opt for powdered sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
- Know that using fresh lemon juice adds brightness to the flavor of the cheesecake mixtures, but doesn’t actually make it taste lemony.
