There’s a lot to love about mini desserts, but mostly they’re adorable and you don’t have to feel bad about eating five of them in one sitting. Bite-sized desserts are also great when you’re taking something to a party because you can satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth, and who doesn’t love having their own serving of dessert? We’ve put together a small list of our favorite bite-sized dessert recipes just for you, so let’s get started!
Salted Caramel Brownie Bites
These little bites are so rich, in the best possible way, that you’ll probably one want one (okay, maybe three). Made in a mini muffin tin, you can easily whip these up with brownie mix, two-ingredient caramel, and sea salt sprinkles on top. Not only are they delicious, but who doesn’t love a little chocolate sea-salty goodness to finish off a meal? Get the recipe here.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Mini Cheesecakes
This recipe actually combines two incredible desserts to make one phenomenal one. A light cheesecake sits on top of a crispy, buttery graham cracker crust and is THEN topped off with a plump fresh strawberry dripping with chocolate. These are perfect for Valentine’s Day or any day. And we hear they pair great with wine! Get the recipe here.
Mini Lemon Tarts
Tarts are just adorable, what with their little scalloped edges; then you go and make them bite-sized? We can’t. These lemon tarts are the perfect spring dessert, and if you’re feeling a little extra, you can always add some fresh blueberries or strawberries to each tart, or even a little lavender!

Mini Peach Upside Down Cakes
Admittedly, pineapple upside-down cake isn’t our favorite thing in the world, but it’s a different story when peaches are involved. This is a great recipe to keep on hand for the upcoming peach season. We do feel obligated to tell you that these little peach upside-down cakes are best served a little warm with a side of vanilla ice cream. You can thank us later. Get the recipe here.
Boston Cream Pie Cookie Bites
Did we save the best for last? It’s hard to say, but yes. Think Boston Cream Pie, but instead of a cake layer you get to eat it out of a cookie cup! These are one of those desserts that you start with just one and end up with, well, several. Call us crazy, but we love to stick these in the freezer for an extra cold treat, but you can’t go wrong with these cookie bites, trust us. Get the recipe here.
