Cheesecake Coffee Cups are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of coffee and cheesecake in a delightful bite-sized form. Perfect for a pick-me-up or an after-meal dessert, the cups will leave your taste buds singing with joy.
When making Cheesecake Coffee Cups, using a high-quality pound cake can make all the difference in flavor and texture. If you’re vegan or lactose intolerant, consider using plant-based cream cheese and a dairy-free condensed milk alternative. Additionally, feel free to switch out the raspberry preserves for another fruit preserve or even fresh fruit if you’re feeling adventurous.

Cheesecake Coffee Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup brewed strong coffee
- 12 ounces poundcake, premade
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 (3 ounce) box cheesecake flavor instant pudding and pie filling mix
Instructions
- Pour the 3/4 cup of brewed strong coffee into a mixing bowl.
- Crumble the 12 ounces of poundcake into the coffee and mix until the coffee soaks through the cake.
- Press the pound cake mixture into the bottom of a muffin pan, filling each cup approximately halfway.
- Blend the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 can (14 ounces) of condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the 3 ounces of cheesecake flavor instant pudding mix and whip until the mixture becomes firm and fluffy.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top of the pound cake mixture in the muffin pan, filling each cup generously.
- Place the muffin pan in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours to allow the cheesecake cups to set properly.
- Once set, remove the cheesecakes by running a knife around the edges of each cup, letting them sit for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- In the meantime, microwave the 1/2 cup of raspberry preserves for 30 to 40 seconds until warm, then drizzle over the tops of the cheesecake cups.
