Cranberry dishes are often associated with the holiday season, and when fresh cranberries are being harvested. But, if you are a cranberry lover, like I am, then you can still make this delicious cranberry dessert year-round. Tonya here… and you are going to love this White Chocolate Cranberry Mini Cheesecake recipe. Thank you to Furlani for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.
I’ve already shared with you three delicious recipes using Ann’s Biscuits including the Slow Cooker Chicken Chili with Fire Roasted Cornbread Biscuits using Ann’s Biscuits – Fire Roasted Cornbread, Cinnamon Apple Pie Breakfast Bake using Ann’s Biscuits – Cinnamon Cream Cheese, and Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits using Ann’s Biscuits – Cheddar, Chive, and Garlic. You are going to love this latest recipe, White Chocolate Cranberry Cheesecake, which uses Ann’s Biscuits – Cranberry and White Chocolate.
Did you know that you can use biscuits to bake a delicious cheesecake base? Mind blown, right! Most people use crackers, but biscuits are a delicious alternative, especially these cranberry and white chocolate ones. You can see the cranberry pieces in the biscuits.
How To Make White Chocolate Cranberry Mini Cheesecake
To turn them into a delicious base for your cheesecake, simply heat the oven to 325F. Bake them in individual mini cheesecake pans for 5-minutes, and then using the end of a rolling pin, press them into the base of the pan.
Once you’ve made your cheesecake filling you can pour that right over the top and bake like normal. And just look at the cranberry pieces you can still see in the base.
The biscuit holds together beautifully with the cheesecake on top, and is light and crumbly when you bite into it.
Top your mini cheesecake with white chocolate curls and confectioner’s sugar and you have a delicious dessert.

You say use mini cheesecake pans. The picture looks like you use muffin pan. Also you do not say how many it makes? Confusing. Will wait until I hear before I make, as I do not have mini cheesecakes pans. Looks so good!
Oh my Tonya, those look so delicious. Beautiful bite sized cheesecake with white chocolate would disappear in a flash here. I’d have to make a one really big batch to keep everyone happy 😀
Amazing recipe I cannot wait to try it! Thank you for sharing.
This is different twist on the traditional crust, I like this idea and then the white chocolate curls make it very appetizing!
