Cherry Cheesecake Brownie Bites combine three irresistible desserts into one easy bite-sized treat: fudgy brownies, creamy cheesecake, and sweet cherry pie filling. Made with boxed brownie mix, a simple no-bake cheesecake filling, and store-bought cherry pie filling, these mini brownie bites are an easy dessert for parties, holidays, potlucks, or whenever you’re craving something chocolatey and fruity!

If you love chocolate-covered cherries, cherry cheesecake, or classic brownies, you’re going to love this combination.

They’re easy enough for beginner bakers, require simple ingredients, and don’t involve making an entire cheesecake from scratch. The mini size also makes them perfect for parties because guests can grab one without needing a plate or fork.

They’re also a fun alternative to traditional brownies. Instead of simply serving brownies, you’re adding a creamy cheesecake layer and sweet cherry topping to turn them into something extra special.

And honestly, who can resist brownies + cheesecake + cherries?

Ingredients you’ll need:

Brownie mix- prepared according to box instructions
Cream cheese- softened
Heavy whipping cream
Powdered sugar
Vanilla extract
Cherry pie filling

There’s a reason these little desserts are so hard to resist. They bring together three classic favorites: brownies, cheesecake, and cherry pie.

You get the rich, fudgy chocolate flavor of a brownie, the smooth and creamy texture of cheesecake, and the sweet-tart cherries and syrupy filling you love in cherry pie.

Every bite has a little bit of everything. The combination tastes almost like a cherry cheesecake brownie, but in an adorable bite-sized dessert that’s perfect for serving to a crowd.

These brownie bites are rich, fudgy, creamy, and sweet with a delicious fruity finish.

The chocolate brownie base has that classic deep cocoa flavor and chewy-fudgy texture. The no-bake cheesecake filling is smooth, creamy, and slightly tangy, which balances out the sweetness of the brownie and cherry topping.

Then you get the cherry pie filling. The sweet cherries add a bright, fruity flavor that pairs incredibly well with chocolate and cream cheese.

The result is a decadent little dessert that tastes like cherry cheesecake and brownies had a very delicious baby!

How to make the best Cherry Cheesecake Brownie Bites:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare your brownie batter following the directions on the box, then evenly divide the batter among each greased mini muffin tin cup.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, then immediately take the handle of a spatula or tart tamper and press down in the center of each brownie bite to create a well. Set aside to cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or Ziploc bag, cut off one end, then pipe about 2 tsp of filling into each brownie bite.
Spoon 1 tsp of cherry pie filling on top of each one and enjoy!

Using boxed brownie mix is one of my favorite shortcuts for this recipe. You get deliciously fudgy brownie bites without having to measure out cocoa powder, flour, sugar, and all of the other ingredients needed for homemade brownies.

And because the brownies are just one part of the finished dessert, you can absolutely use your favorite store-bought brownie mix.

This is a great recipe to keep in your back pocket when you need an easy dessert that looks like you spent much more time making it than you actually did.

There’s no need to make homemade cherry pie filling for these brownie bites either.

A can of store-bought cherry pie filling works perfectly and makes this recipe even easier. Just spoon a little over the cheesecake filling and you’re done.

The combination of boxed brownie mix and canned cherry pie filling makes these an especially convenient dessert for busy days, last-minute parties, and holiday baking.

My top tips:

GREASE YOUR PAN: Make sure you grease your mini muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray before adding the brownie batter. It’s no fun to make a dessert just for it to get stuck in the pan!
BROWNIE MIX: You already know I had to throw a shortcut in here somewhere so we’re using a boxed brownie mix to make this recipe even easier! If you’d still like to make yours from scratch, just be sure you use a recipe that traditionally fits a 9×9 pan.
CREATING THE WELLS: You’ll want to press down the center of each brownie bite while the brownies are still warm from the oven. I just used the rounded end of a spatula handle I had, but if you own a tart tamper, that would be even more efficient.
COOLING: It’s important to let the brownie bites cool completely before filling them with the no bake cheesecake filling. If you fill warm brownies, they will likely absorb the filling and become soggy.
ELECTRIC MIXER: An electric mixer is helpful to make the cheesecake filling super light and fluffy. You can still make the filling without one, just make sure the cold ingredients have come to room temperature and get ready for a good arm workout!
SOFTENED CREAM CHEESE: Softened cream cheese is key in this no bake cheesecake filling. It’s super important to make sure your cream cheese is fully softened so that it incorporates into the other ingredients easily, which ensures your filling will be super smooth rather than lumpy.
PIPING: Transferring the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or Ziploc bag helps control how much filling you’re piping into the brownie bites and in turn keeps them nice and neat.
PIE FILLIING: I love the shortcut of using store-bought cherry pie filling in this recipe. It makes these brownie bites super quick and easy to whip up while keeping the ingredient list nice and short! You won’t need the entire can of pie filling though, so be sure to store the remaining amount in your fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in your freezer for up to 8 months.
REMOVING: If the edges of the brownie bites seem stuck to the pan, run a butter knife around the edges to loosen each cup.
STORING: Transfer any leftovers into an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-5 days.
