So simple and quick to make you won’t believe it. You also will not believe how good they taste. You might even feel guilty. If you weren’t so busy eating them all.
I can hear the collective gasp of surprise now…
Kim made something Turtley…
Shocking right!
I think you’ll forgive my obsession when you realize how flipping cute these are. They are also the easiest little cheesecakes in the world to make.
We’ll call them “cheater cheesecakes”. And we won’t even feel a little bit bad about it.
Trust me, these will make those of you who like to spend hours prepping your desserts change your tune. They take about 3.57 minutes to make…
and about .357 seconds to inhale.
Life is good.
If you are a regular reader you probably know I’ve been wicked sick this week. Fever, shakes, the whole nine yards. I had planned to make a very complicated, full on crazy full size turtle cheesecake. But let’s be honest folks, baking, and eating for that matter, are not fun when you’re flat on your back with a fever of 101. So I cheated. I made Tiny Turtle Cheesecakes and I adore them. Quite likely the simplest dessert I’ve ever made in my life. Quite likely the cutest too.

CCU says

Cheers
CCU
Kim Bee says
Thanks so much Uru. It’s just so simple, doesn’t even seem like a recipe.
Liz says
Mmmmmmm….you know I love your Turtle obsession! These look marvelous…I can’t believe you cranked these out with the flu. You are a trooper!!!! xx
Kim Bee says
It’s so out of control but I can’t help myself. Thanks, luckily they are super quick.
Liz says
PS…look at your cute spoons!!!!
Kim Bee says
Ha, thanks. I still can’t believe they shipped here. So many places don’t.
Stacy says
These are precious! And so easy to assemble. Looks like you slaved all day to create them though. I sure hope you are feeling better, at least well enough to eat your share of these.
Kim Bee says
I love dishes that look complicated but really aren’t. I get such a kick out of it when folks think it took me all day. Must be the little devil in me.
I figure another day or so and I should be back to normal.
movita beaucoup says
Here’s the thing: when I see Turtles? One of my most favourite chocolate treats? I THINK OF YOU. It’s creepy. But I’m still really glad that you keep finding ways to work them into my daily diet…
Kim Bee says
Bah ha ha. I cannot stop laughing. It gives me great joy to creep you out. Turtle lovers unite.
Renee says
You are the turtle queen! Love it, love it, and love it some more. Bring on the turtle recipes because you know I love the turtles.
Kim Bee says
Lol, thanks. They just speak to me. So glad I’m not the only one.
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Oh my gosh!! These would be so quick and easy to make when I have a I need for cheesecake right now mood! I love the flavors you used and mmmm, who doesn’t love turtles??
Kim Bee says
Thanks Jennifer. I tend to love doing quick and easy dishes. And who doesn’t love turtles, right.
Nicole @ Daily Dish Recipes says
Oh wow… not only do they sound amazing… they LOOK amazing!! So cute in those little glasses!!
Kim Bee says
Thanks so much Nicole. I had fun playing around with the styling.
Jen @JuanitasCocina says
Tiny = more for Jen to eat!
Kim Bee says
I like the way you think!!
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen says
I think you should be known as the lunatic turtle from now on. Cute, simple cheesecakes, what more can we ask for? They are amazing Kim! And nothing is fun when you´re with a fever…
Kim Bee says
Lol, I know right. I have a problem. Thanks so much Paula. I just love to bake, but this is the best I could do sick. They turned out pretty good.
john@kitchenriffs says
You know, you’re real good at this turtle thing. You might want to think about making more of them. 😉 Really fun and creative. And I’d gladly dedicate .357 seconds to snarfing these! Good stuff – thanks.
Kim Bee says
Lol, thanks John. It’s like a gift, or a sickness. I love them way too much.
DB-The Foodie Stuntman says
Kudos to you for doing anything while sick. If that were me, I’d be completely lazy.
Kim Bee says
Thanks DB. Luckily this was a quick recipe.
Conni @FoodieArmyWife says
Oh my goodness, these are so stinkin’ cute!!!
Kim Bee says
Thanks Conni. They were fun to make.
Laura | Small Wallet, Big Appetite says
I will only forgive your obsession if you promise to save me one. 🙂
Kim Bee says
Lol, sure thing.
Crystal says
Oh wow! Think you could mail some my way? 😉 These look delicious!
Kim Bee says
Thanks Crystal. I wish I could. Or have you over for coffee and cheesecake.
Diana @GourmetDrizzles says
Ok, first of all, anything Turtle is yum by me… and in cute little shot glasses? How fun!!! 😉
Kim Bee says
Thanks so much Diana. I had fun with this one.
Nancy @ gottagetbaked says
I’m amazed you were still able to make these little decadent stunners this week, Kim! Poor you. When I’m sick, I’m the biggest baby in the world. You can’t get me out of bed for anything. Weeeeell, maybe I’d get up for one (or three) of these since I love turtles so much. This week’s Sunday Supper has opened my eyes to this amazing Philly cheesecake filling product. I never knew they made it! Next time I don’t want to bake my own, I’m getting a tub and spooning it into my mouth in front of the tv. I hope you feel 100% better soon!
Kim Bee says
Thanks so much Nancy. I was pretty much doing what you would do last night. While I was making these I was also making black forest bites and scarfing them while I was taking pics. I love that they sell the spread now in chocolate. It’s fab and quick.
Tara says
Hope you are feeling better soon!! These sure are cute and I think I would inhale one in 3.56 seconds!!
Kim Bee says
Thanks Tara. You are so sweet.
Debra says
Hope you are feeling better! These little cuties look delicious!
Kim Bee says
Thanks so much Debra.
Emily @ Life on Food says
Now this is the kind of cheesecake I can handle making. Yum, yum!
Kim Bee says
It’s just so easy and yummy.
Sarah says
Turtles are my mom’s fave, she’d love this!
Kim Bee says
Mine too. You’ll have to try them when she visits.
Carla says
I just laughed when I read on the list you were making Turtle Cheesecakes 🙂 I like how you dont have to let these chill overnight! Yay instant indulgence!
Kim Bee says
I am nothing if not predictable. I wanted to do a full on beautiful from scratch dish but man I was just too sick. This is a great thing to whip up when someone shows up at your door at the last minute.
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
These are adorable, and I’d rather have something like this than a heavy, dense cheesecake. Hope you are feeling better!
Kim Bee says
Thanks Brianne. I feel the same way. So much lighter this way.
Starting to feel a tad better. Yah!
Cindys Recipes and Writings says
Go Turtle Power!!!! 🙂 Feel better Kim!
Tom @ Waegook Tom says
Adorable! Alas I’m not a great baker, even if cooking isn’t required – desserts hate me. I may commission my little brother to make these. I don’t know why I’m using the word “commission”…I certainly won’t be paying him. Just inhaling in 0.3 seconds.
Kim Bee says
I used to be the same way. Tackle something simple like this and the dessert world is your oyster. I realize that’s a bad way to put it. The world is your cheesecake?? I bet you could whip these up no problem.
Jennie @themessybakerblog says
You cheated? Really? These look too perfect for you to have cheated. I want to take one of those tiny spoons and dig in…deep! Yum! Feel better, Kim!
Sarah | Curious Cuisiniere says
Hope you’re feeling better! These look lovely, and it’s great to have simple desserts like this up your sleeve for surprise guests. Turtle is one of my favorite flavor combos, so I’m completely sold!
Ramona says
I love all your turtle creations. This is another fantastic no bake dessert. 🙂
Dara says
Awww. Delicious treats are a great way to heal from a cold. Feel better!!!
Soni says
Ooh I love such easy recipes since I’m not that good a baker!This looks so super easy and so delicious not to mention fast :)Yumm..
Hope you’re feeling better now!
katie says
Yum! I love no bake cheesecakes!!!
Ridwan says
The caramel and choped pecan on this simple dessert is perfection 🙂 make my mouth watering right now 🙂
Angie @ Big Bear's Wife says
I NEED these in my life, like asap! Those are so cute and I love the layered look in the glasses!
Lane @ Supper for a Steal says
I love easy desserts like this. I’m not one for waiting. Baking and then cooling is just too much. When I want cheesecake I want it now!
Kristi Rimkus says
I hope you’re feeling better. A dessert like this would have me on the mend in no time flat. I love the automatic portion control too!
