I have to admit, when I first purchased my mini heart-shaped silicone mold, I didn’t have any big plans for it. I bought it on a whim, not really how it could be used.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, the lightbulb finally sparked: why not make heart-shaped mini cheesecakes?! I can’t say I’m a pro at baking cheesecakes, so when I make them, I go for individual versions.

This heart-shape silicone mold is perfect for miniature cheesecakes. It’s easy to work with, allowing you to easily“pop” out your cheesecake in the prettiest shape.

How to Use Silicone Pans for Baking

I’ve recently fallen in love with silicone pans, especially when using them to make specific shapes for my baked goods. A few tips:

When using them for baking in the oven, I tend to spray mine with a bit of cooking oil. This way, I am reassured that my baked good will pop right out.
Silicone pans can, in fact, go directly on top of an oven rack. However, I put mine on a cookie sheet for better stability.
Always read the instructions on a silicone pan’s packaging before using. The directions will tell you exactly what temperatures it can be baked in, proper care, etc.
Allow the pan to cool after use, especially before cleaning.
Most silicone pans are dishwasher safe, but be sure to put it on the top rack.

The Easiest No-Bake Cheesecakes

Not to toot my own horn, but I am super pleased with how my cheesecakes turned out. Most no-bake cheesecakes require gelatin to set. But this gal has no time for that!

These heart-shaped mini cheesecakes are the perfect romantic dessert. Easy to make and even easier to eat up! #nobakecheesecake #valentinedessert

My no-bake cheesecake recipe requires zero gelatin. All it takes is a mixture of cream cheese, whipped cream, and sugar. Yes! It’s really that simple.

How to Add Color to Cheesecake

I aimed to make these mini cheesecakes for Valentine’s Day (though I think they’re appropriate for any time of the year!). I decided to add a burst of color to the cheesecake mixture.

Biggest tip: always use gel food coloring. The traditional liquid food coloring will not give you a vibrant color unless you use tons of it. The problem with using an abundant amount of liquid food coloring is that it dilutes your mixture, adding too much water – and texture, measurements, etc. is everything in baking.
