    Mini Cheesecake Snowmen

    Published: Dec 9, '14 · Modified: Aug 12, '23 · By: Beth Klosterboer · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Turn delicious mini cheesecakes into adorably cute Mini Cheesecake Snowmen for Christmas dinner or a winter party. Each individual-sized dessert is easy to make and decorate and will really brighten up your dinner table.

    I made a batch of these Mini Cheesecake Snowmen for my cheesecake loving family over Thanksgiving weekend and served them for dessert. I wanted to get a few projects created ahead of time because I knew I had a jam packed schedule this month and no one complained about having snowmen invade Thanksgiving.

    If you are looking for a fun way to dress up a cheesecake, give these snowman cheesecakes a try.

    I used my favorite cheesecake recipe that creates incredibly creamy cheesecake. It has the best texture of any cheesecake I've ever tried.

    Plus decorating these desserts couldn't be easier.

    Snowman Cheesecake are simple to make by following the step-by-step tutorial on HungryHappenings.com

    Mini Cheesecake Snowmen

    Ingredients: (makes 9)

    Cheesecake-

    butter, to coat the inside of your molds
    16 ounces cream cheese, softened (do not use low fat or no fat cream cheese)
    ⅔ cup sugar

    ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
    2 large eggs
    1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract

    Decorations-
    Wilton Snowman Decorating Kit

    Supplies:
    2 - 6 cavity half sphere silicone baking molds

    Instructions:

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter the cavities in your molds.

    Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add heavy whipping cream, eggs, and vanilla and beat just to combine.

    Set silicone molds on a baking sheet.

    Fill 9 cavities with cheesecake filling.

    Bake for 20-24 minutes until set.

    Allow them to cool at room temperature for one hour, then freeze them for at least 3 hours or overnight. You want them frozen solid, so you can push them out of the molds without making any dents in the tops of the cheesecakes.

    I suggest putting your frozen cheesecakes on individual dessert plates.

    Then allow them to thaw for 15-20 minutes before decorating using pieces from Wilton's Snowman Decorating Kit. Press two candy eyes, one carrot nose, and a candy mouth onto each cheesecake. Then drape two pieces of the blue candy across the bottom of the snowman to create a scarf.

    You can refrigerate the cheesecakes for up to five days or keep them frozen for about a month, but I would recommend decorating them no more than a few hours before serving.

      I don't get why there are people who would never dream of taking something from a store without paying for it, yet have no problem stealing ideas. Or crediting something as "from Pinterest." Aaargh!

      Don't you dare think of NOT posting a new idea. Your name doesn't even have to be on things for us to know you created it! Your snowmen, etc. usually have a certain whimsy to them that is unmistakenly Beth. Dana's snowman face is totally different than yours. Hers is more tart like in appearance and doesn't have/need a scarf.

      Dr. Oz showed a photo of a vegetarian turkey platter the other day and a viewer was taking credit for just having designed it. I've seen that same turkey for a couple years.

      Thanks for this, your newest, snowman. Your always giving others credit endears you to us all the time. You know what it is to create and give credit where credit is due. Nothing wrong with being nice!

        Thanks so much, Trish. I understand burn out. Blogging and continually creating new things is exciting but sure can be exhausting. I live for this and get up every morning excited to make something new, but when evening rolls around, I'm tired. I take nice long vacations to get away from it all for a while.
