Bloody Eyeball Cheesecakes put the trick in a very delicious treat of white chocolate cheesecakes with an Oreo crust and raspberry topping.
I love Halloween. I don’t love it as much as Thanksgiving and Christmas but it’s still a lot of fun. Our kids are still totally into trick-or-treating. Caleb will be dressing as his favorite football player this year, Tyler Eifert. And Hannah is going as a zombie-fied Meghan Trainor. Should be an interesting evening!

So I always need to have some fun food for after trick-or-treating. This year I decided to re-make one of my favorite mini cheesecake recipes for Halloween. White chocolate and raspberry is such a fabulous flavor combination. And in this case the raspberry sauce doubles as blood.
These little cheesecakes are easy to transport and eat because they are handheld. And they are simple to make because the crusts are Oreo cookies (no crushing necessary) and the filling is made of just five ingredients: cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla and melted white chocolate. They can be made the day before so they are terrific for your after trick-or-treating parties.
And they are just the perfect amount of spooky don’t you think? They still come off as a fancy little dessert but they are SO festive! And most importantly they just taste so good. Chocolate, white chocolate and raspberry in a mini cheesecake. You’ll be craving these well past Halloween.
Tips for making Bloody Eyeball Cheesecakes:
- I used foil cupcake liners like these to bake the cheesecakes
- Fresh raspberry sauce is great and I have a recipe for it here, but in the interest of convenience, I used canned raspberry pie filling to top these bloody eyeball cheesecakes
- Find the large-size, edible eyes for decorating here
- Be sure to plan ahead when making these cheesecakes – they need at least four hours to chill before serving and preferably overnight

I’m not a huge halloween person but these look so cool!
foodtasticmom says
Thank you Giselle. You can leave the eyes off and have a delicious dessert for any occasion!
Kat says
Do you think these would work with a gummy eyeball? And, does the liner have to be a foil liner?
foodtasticmom says
You don’t have to use a foil liner. And I think gummy eyeballs would work well!
Kat says
The gummy eyes worked out really well! I used paper liners instead of foil liners….meh it was so so. The shape gets a little wonky but tastes great just the same. I made a double batch for a Halloween party. Everyone loved them. I added a little bit of red food gel to the eyes for some extra effect.
foodtasticmom says
Ah, good to know about paper vs. foil. Sorry for the wonky shape – maybe that added to the “creepy” factor?? 🙂 Thanks so much for taking the time to review and share your experience. I appreciate it!
