I have baked plenty of cheesecakes over the years, as a whole cheesecake as well as mini cheesecakes. However, recently I baked a whole cheesecake when I found out I’m going to be having more than 20 quests spontaneously want to come over to visit. I thought to myself: How do I turn my cheesecake into mini cheesecake bites?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Turn cheesecake into mini cheesecake bites! Method 1:<\/span> Chill the cheesecake. Take a hot knife and cut it horizontally and vertically making a grid-like pattern. You’ll get square cheesecake bites. Method 2:<\/span> Use special long cookie cutters meant for a cake to cut the cheesecake into many shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, and hearts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mini cheesecake bites are a fan favorite. They are admired by many, especially by my spontaneous guests. This made me want to perfect my methods of cutting a whole cheesecake into the mini cheesecake bites that everyone loves. These easy few steps will make sure that your mini cheesecake bites will look as appetizing as ever before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While cutting a cheesecake might seem like a simple task, it’s actually a very hard skill to get correct and master. I’ve cut into cheesecakes for many years now and at first, I used to struggle a lot. The cheesecake used to stick to my knife and fall apart every time. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, as time passed I learned many new ways to make the cheesecake cutting process much cleaner and safer for me as well as the cheesecake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are three main methods that I’ve learned throughout my cheesecake cutting journey: The Hot Knife Technique, The Wax Paper Technique, and The Dental Floss Technique. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re looking to bake different-sized cheesecakes, I found the perfect\u00a03 piece set of Springform Pans<\/strong>\u00a0that I recently got for myself!\u00a0This 3-piece set comes with 4, 7, and 9-inch Nonstick Springform Pans,<\/a><\/strong> which you can check out on Amazon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out my article about How To Cut A Perfect Cheesecake Slice here<\/a> where I go in-depth about these 3 techniques<\/strong> fully guiding you to properly cutting the perfect cheesecake slices. Learning these 3 methods will definitely help you continue on this mini cheesecake journey with me. So take a minute to read it through and come back to this article. I’m not going anywhere… Great now that you know what to do, let’s move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first thing you need to do is cool your cheesecake. <\/strong>It doesn’t necessarily have to be for a long time. About 30 minutes in the fridge should be enough for the cheesecake to firm up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Using either The Hot Knife Technique or The Dental Floss Technique, take your warmed-up knife\/dental floss and hover over your cheesecake. Gently make a plus (+) looking impression both horizontally and vertically.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, continue making small impressions in both directions from the initial plus (+) sign. I usually leave about 1-inch intervals between each impression to make equal-sized bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the impressions are done, warm up your knife under hot warm (or use the dental floss), wipe it down, and cut each one of the impressions on your cheesecake separately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t forget to repeat warming up your knife after every slice is made.<\/strong> Repeat the same process both horizontally and vertically moving outward until you finished making 1-1 inched cheesecake bites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since your cheesecake was initially round, you’ll have a couple of stray cheesecake pieces on all four sides of the cake. You have 2 options: Either you add them as more mini cheesecake bites or, my favorite option, eat the stray pieces yourself as a reward. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n *Tip:<\/span><\/strong> Remember to NEVER <\/strong>cut a cheesecake with a back and forth motion!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I would suggest decorating your mini cheesecake bites. I usually put some sort of mixed nuts or fruits and berries<\/strong> on top of each cheesecake bite. There are many other things that you can put on top of the bites like whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, chocolate chips<\/strong>, and many others to increase the overall presentability of the cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Put a toothpick on every single cheesecake bite for your guests to grab with ease. Just make sure the toothpick hits the crust<\/strong> or the bottom of the mini cheesecake might just fly right off. In the end, you’ll have a professional assortment of mini cheesecake bites that your guests will love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter what you decide to put on the cheesecake bites, it will look much better than it did before.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nProperly Cut Your Cheesecake Into Mini Cheesecake Bites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
