Description
Delight in these no-bake mini cheesecakes featuring a buttery graham cracker crust and a rich, creamy filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Toppings (fruit, chocolate, etc.)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press it firmly into the bottom of each mini cheesecake cup.
- Make the filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with your mixer until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
- Whip the cream: In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Fill the crusts: Spoon the cheesecake filling into the prepared crusts, filling them generously without overflowing. Smooth the tops or create charming swirls.
- Chill to set: Cover the mini cheesecakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Dress them up: Add your favorite toppings just before serving, like fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or a drizzle of caramel.
