Pineapple Strawberry Mini Cheesecakes » RecipeCollage.com » October 5, 2024 — I use my cast iron oyster pan to make these. Love this pan! You could use a muffin tin for this or mini pie trays.
Fold in the fruit Filling & cream filling together in 1 bowl.
I take 1 1/2TBSP of gram mixture and spoon it in the pan. Then I take my fingers compressing the Gram crackers in the sides and bottom, making them compact having a well in the centre to put my cheese cake mixture in.
I fill with a good 2TBSP of filling in each spot. And then sprinkle the reserved Gram on-top.

This is a Christmas Chocolate chip blend that we buy at the Bulk Barn, their delicious.

Some we put candy canes and or coconut inside the cookies with chocolate. You could use a variety of toppings here. Our favorites are candy cane and coconut. They don’t last long in our house. Great way to turn a vanilla cookie into something new!
