Recently, my picky eater—the 22-month old toddler—has started to take a liking to cheese, which makes me very happy. I have started making more toddler foods for him with cheese. As he is very active and practically can’t sit still, our pediatrician told us to feed him a lot of protein, foods like cheese, meat, peanut butter, etc.

I experimented with this mini lemon cheesecake and he loved it. He ate one of them as soon as it was done, and asked for “more more.” Nothing makes me happier than him eating well and continues to grow.
Anyway, this mini lemon cheesecake is a recipe from my friend’s blog at Cuisine Paradise. I am sure many of you remember the cute Mickey Bento she wrote as a guest post on Rasa Malaysia. I love visiting the blog, especially for baking recipes.
These mini lemon cheesecakes are not only great for toddlers, they are great for the grown-ups, too. I just love that they are so pretty, and mini-size is always a crowd pleasure. Check out the recipe below and I hope you get to try them yourself. If you have a little picker eater at home, please share your ideas what you cook for them.

Cute mini lemon cheese cake.
My picky eater doesn’t like cheesecake :(. I have no problem feeding her veggies so I’m happy :)
Rice with steamed vegges chopped very small with oyster sauce.
I cooked vegies with the rice in the rice cooker and crumbled bake salmon is a fav of my 11.5 months girl!!!
I make meatballs for my toddler. Minced chicken, grated apple, finely chopped broccoli florets/French beans, grated carrot, grated cheese, panko. Shaped into mini balls then pan fry over low heat with olive oil. My kiddo loves it, even my hubby! For adults can consider adding some spices like curry powder, cumin etc for added flavor :)

Bee I saw the show!! It was great. Congrats on the new home!
i love cheesecakes…by the way,can i use the cream cheese in a jar instead of the one the comes in bars?
Hi Kathy, I don’t think you can because the one in the tub has air whipped into it to make it more spreadable while the cream cheese block is more thick. Your cream cheese cake may fall if you use the spreadable type just because it has too much air.
good thing i waited for your response, you saved me from a possible failure…thanks so much…another lesson learned from Rasa Malaysia… :)
What is mean 12oz cream cheese? 12pk of block cream cheese? My oven very small need to back 2 or 3time … Can I bake the cheese cake this way .? Will put outside for a few hour than bake for the balance one ..
12 ounces of cream cheese is approximately 339 gram. It is best to bake all at the same time.
My daughter loves steamed cakes (aka apam in Malay). Especially those colourful ones. Make them in pink or green and she will be happy!
A really really fussy and picky toddler we have here!!! Extremely difficult to get her to eat veges and for some reason cheese as well!!! Luckily she loves her fruits! And fish!!! I make pan fry John dory fillets for her about twice a week with a pinch of salt and she eats it with rice. Love all the ideas esp the meatballs by Meg will give that a try will also give your lemon cheesecake a try!!!!
What are graham crackers?
Graham crackers are a type of crunchy biscuits/cookies that made out of wheat flour and sweetened with honey. It is very common crust for American cheesecake. It can be eaten out of the box, to make smores and to make pie crust.
I have a 20month old and she is pretty picky as well. She loves hardboiled eggs, chicken, mini pasta shapes, shitake mushrooms, baked sweet potatoes, red bean barley sweet congee…luckily, she does eat green leafy, broccoli, cauliflower. She won’t eat carrots, tomato, spaghetti sauce, zucchini, bell peppers…some days are better than others.
Oh, she loves muffins , soft breads…I need a good, no fail carrot cake and zucchini bread recipes. I try to hide veggies in baked goodies.
My 19-month-old is kind of picky but I think mostly because I want to cut down on the sugar, salt, and unhealthy/unnecessary grease in his food. He loves 番薯葉 and steamed egg custard. He hates meat and anything that looks messy on a plate…still trying to figure out a better and healthy way to give him his meat…
I love cheesecakes. Do you need to bake steam-bake this?
I didn’t use the steam-bake in this recipe, but you can if you want to.
Nice recipe :)
I also like the below NYC cheesecake recipe.

Thanks for sharing,

Very good recipe :)
How did you remove the cheesecake from the paper cups that you used? What if I use glass cups? How can I remove the cheesecake from that before serving?
If you roll up the lip of the paper cup, the pleats on the side will come apart.
