Description

These Easy Rich No-Bake Cheesecake Cups are a delightful and creamy dessert perfect for any occasion. Made with a buttery graham cracker crust and a luscious cream cheese filling, these cups require no baking and can be prepared ahead of time. The smooth, rich texture combined with a hint of vanilla makes these cheesecake cups an irresistible treat that’s simple to make and wonderfully satisfying.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 14 rectangular graham crackers, crushed)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter (melted)

Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare The Crust: Start by crushing the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a rolling pin inside a sealed plastic bag or a food processor. Combine the graham cracker crumbs with brown sugar in a bowl. Melt the butter and pour it over the crumb mixture, stirring until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides (1-2 inches) of serving cups, using the bottom of a glass to pack it tightly. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
  2. Make No-Bake Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and light, about 2-3 minutes. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and cold heavy cream, then mix on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes until the filling thickens and holds its shape when the beaters are lifted.
  3. Assemble The Cheesecake: Remove the crust from the refrigerator and spoon about ½ cup of the cream cheese filling into each cup. Smooth the tops evenly with a spoon.
  4. Chill: Cover the assembled cheesecake cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set completely.
  5. Serve: Once chilled and set, remove the cups from the refrigerator. Serve them plain or garnish with fresh fruit or fruit sauce as desired.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with whipping cream, but the texture may be slightly lighter.
  • Use fresh fruit toppings like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for added flavor and color.
  • These cheesecake cups can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To make the crust gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers instead.
