40 Mini Desserts That Are Almost Too Cute to Eat (Almost)

If you’re on a diet, you can eat one. If you’re not on a diet…you can eat the whole batch.

If you don’t have mini tart pans or pie plates, you can use mason jar lids to make the crust. (Genius, if you ask us.)

With lots of homemade hot fudge dipping sauce, of course.

To share or not to share? That is the question. (And we think you know the answer.)

Once you pop (one of these into your mouth), you just can’t stop.

Whoever invented the concept of portion control had never tasted one of these cuties.

Well, aren’t you fancy?

They’re like a Pinterest fever dream in the best way possible.

They’re bite-size, so it’s fine to eat seven. (Or at least that’s what we tell ourself.)

Think store-bought snack cakes but, like, 200 times better.

These treats look fancy, but they’re secretly easy as, well, pie.

We’ll take ours with extra confectioners’ sugar, please and thank you. Cue the county-fair nostalgia.

Pretty in pink. (And made with store-bought pie crust, but don’t tell anyone.)

Coffee, rum and cocoa powder? Don’t mind if we tirami-do.

Honey, we shrunk the pecan pie.

Light, airy and moist, it reminds us of the best brioche we’ve ever had. Plus, the fun-size factor is impossible to resist.

They might be mini, but they’re mighty sticky. Pass the napkins.

These little cakes take ten minutes to whip up and then magically come together in the fridge.

We give you permission to unleash your inner middle schooler and eat an entire handful.

No messy slicing, no cleanup and no forks involved.

We’d say they’re three bites each, four max.

Pop one of these babies into your mouth for an instant mood boost.

Go ahead, have another (and another…and another…).

The creamy cake and tangy pomegranate seeds make for the ideal sweet-tart effect.

Incredible results with zero baking required, aka our kind of dessert.

Have you ever seen a cuter treat? Be honest.

You’ll want to spread this frosting on pretty much everything.

Small in size but huge in flavor, thanks to apple cider concentrate.

We can’t decide which part is best: the flaky phyllo crust or the toasty-sweet nut filling.

Profiterole means “perfect tiny treat” in French, yes?

Make sure you snap a photo for the ’Gram before gobbling them up.

We’ll definitely be saving room for these. (So much better than turkey, honestly.)

These taste like a 5-year-old’s birthday party and we’re not mad about it at all.

It’ll be gone before you even have time to let the ice cream melt down your wrist.

This combination of flavors might sound totally out there but if you know, you know.

Bonus points if you top them with rainbow sprinkles, of course.

We’re a *tiny* bit obsessed with these confetti cuties. (See what we did there?)

You could use any in-season fruit you like for the topping.
