Sara Lee Frozen Bakery, a leading maker of frozen baked goods, is making a big move in the mini dessert category with its launch of Cyrus O’Leary’s Mini Cheesecakes. Now available for grocery in-store bakeries nationwide, these perfectly portioned desserts come in three decadent flavors that are too good to share – but you can if you’re willing!

The Cyrus O’Leary’s Mini Cheesecakes are available in three top-selling flavors:

  • Original Mini Cheesecake – This smooth and creamy cheesecake has a graham-crumb crust and a crumbled graham topping.
  • Salted Caramel Truffle Mini Cheesecake – A graham-crumb crust is the base of this smooth and creamy cheesecake, which is topped with salted caramel and brownie pieces.
  • Strawberry-Topped Mini Cheesecake – Real strawberry topping crowns this smooth and creamy cheesecake with a graham-crumb crust.

“Our new Mini Cheesecakes are among our most indulgent innovations yet, featuring a lineup of popular flavors that appeal to today’s consumers,” said Kari Manze, marketing director for in-store bakery at Sara Lee Frozen Bakery. “Made with premium, quality ingredients, like whole milk and real cream cheese, these single-serve desserts make it easy for busy shoppers to treat themselves anywhere, anytime.”

With snacking playing a big role in consumers’ lives, more shoppers are embracing the “little treats” trend – taking time to enjoy small indulgences. According to Datassential, 89% of consumers indulge in small treats weekly, and younger generations show a strong preference for single-serve and grab-and-go items, as noted by The Food Industry Association.

The brand is leaning into this love for small indulgences with a campaign that’s just as cool as its cheesecakes. The “Whole Lotta Personality” campaign features the single-serve cheesecakes as a cast of irresistible characters that are full of attitude and flavor. Some of its spirited marketing materials pose the question, “Why be humble when you’re this rich?” – a nod to the playfulness of these sweet treats.

The Cyrus O’Leary’s Mini Cheesecakes are available for grocery retailers in a 16-count case.
