How to Make No Bake Cheesecake Bites

As I mentioned, this no bake cheesecake bites recipe is extremely simple to make, and it'll only take you about 15 minutes of work.

And this recipe makes about 8 mini cheesecakes, so just double or triple the recipe if you know you'll need more!

Now, let's not waste another second and dive into how to make no bake cheesecake bites!

Step 1: Make the graham cracker crust

First, you'll make the graham cracker crust for the base of the cheesecake bites.

To make the graham cracker crust, start by putting the graham crackers in a Ziploc bag and crushing them with a rolling pin until they turn into crumbs.

Alternatively, you can put the graham crackers in a blender - or food processor - and blend pulse until you get a fine, grainy texture.

Once the graham cracker crumbs are crushed, add them to a medium bowl. Then, add the melted butter to the bowl and combine it with the crumbs until the graham cracker mixture sticks together. 

Step 2: Building the Graham Cracker Crust

Next, line a mini muffin/cupcake pan with cupcake liners and pour the graham cracker mixture into the slots. Depending on the size of your mini muffin pans, you may get 6 or 8 cheesecake bites.

Oh, and do not skip the cupcake liners! If you do, it will be almost impossible to keep the base intact. 

Then, use a small measuring cup - or a spoon - to press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the liner until it's solid. Now you can set the muffin pan in the fridge and move on to the filling.

Step 3: Preparing the Filling

So, to make the no bake cheesecake filling, add the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to it.

Now, mix all of the filling ingredients together until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. 

Step 4: Building The Cheesecake bites

Next, take the mini muffin pan out of the fridge. Then, use a spoon to scoop the cheesecake filling evenly on top of each graham cracker crust and smooth it out. 

Once you have filled them all, refrigerate the mini cheesecake bites for about 4 hours - or until they easily separate from the cupcake liners.

Step 5: Serving

Now, once you can separate the bites from the liners, top them with fresh berries or any topping that you want and serve on a plate. 

Then, eat 'em with your hands and enjoy!

How to Store No Bake Cheesecake Bites

As you know, this recipe will make about six or eight mini cheesecake bites. And they store super well, so don't worry about making too many!

With that said, if you have leftovers, you can transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days.

And if you want to prepare this recipe ahead of time, just keep the cheesecake bites in the fridge in the muffin pan until they are set, then transfer them to airtight containers until you need 'em.

FAQS SECTION about this no bake cheesecake bites recipe

Do mini cheesecakes need to be refrigerated? 

Yes, mini cheesecakes have to be refrigerated. Since there is no cooking involved and this recipe uses heavy cream and cream cheese, the mini cheesecakes have to be stored in the refrigerator.

If you do not store them in the fridge the dairy ingredients will go bad incredibly quickly.

How do you Harden No Bake Cheesecake?

The best way to harden no bake cheesecake is by letting it set in the refrigerator. It will take about 2-4 hours for the cheesecakes to harden, so don't try to cut the time short. Also, even though it's tempting, the freezer is not a shortcut to having the cheesecake harden faster.

Do you put eggs in a no-bake cheesecake?

You do not put eggs in a no-bake cheesecake. The only time that eggs are used in a cheesecake recipe - like to make this Biscoff cheesecake - is when the cheesecake is baked in the oven. Eggs are typically used in baked cheesecakes to achieve a thicker texture for the cheesecake filling.
