Assembly:
Pre-heat oven to 350º.

Set out paper cups on a sheet pan and pour red velvet cake batter into each cup, just under half-way full. The cake batter will rise to between half-way and three-quarters high. Place in oven and bake, rotating once, for 15-18 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cool (the freezer works great!).

While the cups are cooling, whip together the no-bake cheesecake. Using a 2oz cookie scoop, dollop the batter into each cup as full as you like and tap cups on your work surface to level the batter. Cover with plastic and return the cups to the freezer until set (about 2-4 hours).

Remove your cups from the freezer and decorate to your heart’s content! Using buttercream, pipe rosettes or fluted dollops; arrange edible flowers and berries; or drizzle melted ganache over top. Enjoy!
