Mini cakes are a fun way to serve dessert, especially when a small bite packs big flavor. These little treats are made with a homemade graham cracker crust and a cheesecake filling that’s naturally sweetened with coconut sugar. Topped with sweet and tart raspberry jam, every mouthful delivers the perfect balance of creamy and crumbly. Super simple to make, you can whip up a batch for Valentine’s Day – or any celebratory occasion!
