Make these creamy, easy no-bake mini cheesecakes with a graham cracker crust. They are perfect single serving desserts for parties or quick sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Optional Topping: Fresh berries or chocolate sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Pour in melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  2. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of 12 standard muffin cups lined with paper liners. Place the cups in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  3. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crusts in the muffin cups. Smooth the tops with a small offset spatula.
  7. Chill the mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, chill overnight.
  8. Before serving, remove the paper liners. Top each mini cheesecake cup with your choice of fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, bake the crusts for 5 minutes at 350°F before chilling, then let them cool completely.
  • If you do not have paper liners, you can use a silicone muffin pan for easy removal.
  • Make ahead desserts like these keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
