Cheesecake bites with cream cheese ring

Indulge in these easy cheesecake bites

Our easy cheesecake bites with cream cheese are a delightful ensemble that mirrors the essence of a mini cake but without the hassle of baking. The crispy digestive biscuit base offers a satisfying crunch against the smoothness of the lime and coconut cream cheese ring, which adds a refreshing twist to the overall flavour. Enjoy how fresh strawberries, lime zest, and mint leaves introduce a burst of natural sweetness and aromatic freshness, making these bites a celebration of harmonious flavours and textures.

Use a classic digestive as the foundation

Every cheesecake needs a crust, and in this recipe, the crust is the digestive biscuits. They offer a crispy contrast to the smooth, velvety cream cheese, and their mild sweetness complements the bold tropical lime and coconut flavours. Their subtle nuttiness and satisfying crunch serve as the perfect foundation, balancing the vibrant toppings without overshadowing them. In addition, they make this recipe quick and easy, as you do not have to cook or bake the biscuit base before assembling the cheesecake bites.

Enjoy the tropical touch of lime cream cheese with coconut flakes

The cream cheese is what makes this sweet treat or dessert special. Its consistency is creamy and easily spreadable yet firm enough to hold its shape in chunks or slices on top of the biscuits. Its dessert-like flavour makes it equally good in savoury and sweet cuisine, and here, we took advantage of its sweetness to turn it into an indulgent dessert. Discover the delightful notes of lime cream cheese, resembling almost a classic lime cheesecake, and the sweet nuttiness from the coconut flakes. Together, lime and coconut offer a zesty bite with a touch of exotic sweetness wrapped up in a smooth, creamy texture.

Freshness from strawberries, lime, and mint leaves

Even this flavourful tropical cream cheese will benefit from refreshing toppings. In this recipe, we use fresh strawberries, lime zest, and mint leaves. They bring a burst of natural sweetness, tanginess, and aromatic freshness to the cream cheese.

The ripe strawberries introduce a juicy, sweet note, perfectly complemented by the bright, citrusy tang of lime zest. Mint leaves add a final touch of freshness, enhancing the overall flavour profile with their cooling, crisp aroma, and they look beautiful on top, adding a bright green finish.

Add your own touch

Upgrade our sweet cheesecake bites with your favourite flavours. Try adding thin slices of mango or pineapple for an even more tropical twist and to complement the lime and coconut flavours in the cream cheese. Or try other berries instead of strawberries to experiment with the tanginess of the bites. Raspberries add a delightful, tangy kick that mirrors that of the lime in the cream cheese, and blackberries give you a complex mix of sweet and tangy that balances the sweet coconut and zesty lime.

Indulge in an exotic coconut flavour by sprinkling toasted coconut flakes on top of the cheesecake bites. It adds a crunchy texture and nutty flavour that complements the creaminess and Caribbean notes of the cream cheese, adding depth to each bite. To lean more into the coconut flavour, consider coconut biscuits instead of digestive biscuits.
