Enchanted Rose Mini Eggnog Cheesecakes
There’s no better way to start off the holiday season than with these mini cheesecakes inspired by Belle from Beauty and The Beast! These mini cheesecakes are eggnog flavored with a Biscoff cookie base. They’re topped with whipped cream, some sugar pearls, and of course an enchanted rose!
As they’re mini cheesecakes, they are super simple to make with no water bath required. You can make homemade whipped cream to top if you’d like, or just go with the store-bought kind if you’re in a pinch! Enjoy!
