Mini Funfetti Cheesecakes

I have yet to meet a kid that doesn’t like sprinkles.

What about you – do your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews like sprinkles?

I mean how many times have you seen a kid pick a certain donut because it has sprinkles?!

But sprinkles aren’t just for kids. Sprinkles are fun, and adults need to have fun too. 🎉

These mini funfetti cheesecakes are l-o-a-d-e-d with sprinkles. Sprinkles in the graham cracker crust, sprinkles in the cheesecake, and topped with sprinkles.

You’ll want to use rainbow jimmies for this recipe. Jimmies are the long, skinny, rod shaped like sprinkles. The ball sprinkles, there fancy name is nonpareils, can bleed when you bake with them, so for best results I recommend jimmies.

And I searched everywhere for the best rainbow jimmies. I didn’t want a rainbow mix that included brown, why do some include that color anyway?! Plus, I wanted them to be bright and I was a little particular about which colors were included.

I’m going to skip over all the stores I searched at and tell you that I found the best rainbow jimmies at Walmart! They are SO bright, don’t have a waxy appearance, plus they include bright pink and purple in their mix. I will definitely be going to Walmart when I am in need of rainbow jimmies again. 🌈
