    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.

    Tiny Turtle Cheesecakes (No Bake) from cravingsofalunatic.com- 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.

      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!

        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.

      These are adorable, and I'd rather have something like this than a heavy, dense cheesecake. Hope you are feeling better!

        Thanks Brianne. I feel the same way. So much lighter this way.

        Starting to feel a tad better. Yah!

      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.

        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.

      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!

      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!
