Mini Christmas Cheesecakes

Steps

• 1

  In a small bowl, stir together the crushed chocolate Cheerios™, butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Spoon into the bottom of nine small, plastic cocktail cups or plastic shot glasses.
• 2

  In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, all but 1/2 cup of the whipped topping, and the remaining sugar until light and fluffy.
• 3

  Split the cheesecake mixture into three equal parts. Tint one red and one green with about 1 teaspoon food coloring. Spoon into a large plastic ziptop bag.
• 4

  Snip the corner from each of the plastic bags and pipe about a 1-1 tablespoon of green cheesecake on top of the chocolate crust, then white, then red. Use a knife to gently spread each layer smooth and flat before adding the next colored layer.
• 5

  Top with a dollop of remaining whipped topping. Sprinkle with sprinkles and a few more crushed Cheerios™, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
