    The Best No Bake Cheesecake Bites

    These no bake cheesecake bites have everything you love about classic cheesecake but in mini bite-sized form. 

    They're ideal when you're craving cheesecake but don't want to make an entire thing. And they're way more convenient to serve at a party than a whole cheesecake. Everyone can just grab a few cheesecake bites and eat them with their hands instead of having to sit down with a fork & plate. 

    By the way, if you're looking for some equally delicious quick and easy no bake desserts to serve along with the mini cheesecake bites, these Oreo balls and these no bake cookie dough bites are excellent choices. 

    Why This Recipe Works

    It's quick and easy to make. This no bake cheesecake recipe only takes about 10 minutes to prep these little bites of deliciousness. Then, all you have to do is wait for the no bake cheesecake filling to set in the fridge, and you're ready to indulge.

    The erfect make-ahead dessert. Since you can leave them chilling in the fridge, this is a great make-ahead recipe to have ready to go whenever you need it!

    It's a total crowd favorite. Everyone always goes crazy for this cheesecake recipe, and it's a hit at every party I've served them at.

    Ingredients

    To make these no bake cheesecake bites, you only need a few super simple ingredients. And everything this recipe calls for is used to make a classic cheesecake, so there'll be no surprises here.

    Here's what you'll need to make these mini cheesecake bites:

    • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
    • ¼ cup Butter, melted
    • ½ cup Heavy Cream
    • 8 oz. Cream Cheese, room temperature
    • ⅓ cup Sugar
    • ½ Lemon, squeezed
    • 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
    • Fresh Berries, for topping

    Not bad, right?

    And as I said, these ingredients are the same used to make any classic cheesecake recipe. So, if you stock up on them, you can make this Philadelphia no bake cheesecake or no bake cheesecake with cool whip next!

    Or you can make these fried cheesecake bites for something a little different!

    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!

    A mixng bowl with homemade graham cracker crust ingredients mixed in it. A spoon sits in the bowl.

    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 and pulse until you get a fine, grainy texture. Add the crushed graham crackers 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: Build 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, keeping the base intact will be almost impossible. 

    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: Prepare The Cream Cheese 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, beat the cream cheese with the other ingredients until you have a smooth cream cheese mixture.

    Step 4: Build 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 the graham cracker crusts and smooth it out. 

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

    Step 5: Serve

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

    Then, eat the little bites with your hands and enjoy!

    Toppings For These Mini Cheesecake Bites

    Now, these no bake cheesecake bites are delicious with nothing on top, but if you want to take them to another level, you can add a variety of toppings! 

    I personally like to keep it classic and just use some fresh berries for my topping, but you can use any other cheesecake topping you desire.

    For instance, you can use this delicious strawberry compote for some strawberry cheesecake vibes.

    Or, you can drizzle it with some chocolate ganache, caramel sauce, or peanut butter. Then, add some whipped cream on top for a balance of textures.

    Honestly, anything you would put on top of a regular cheesecake, you can use on these mini cheesecake bites!

    How To Store No Bake Cheesecake Bites

    In the fridge: Store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    In the freezer: Transfer the cheesecake to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze it for up to 2 months. Let the frozen cheesecake thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.

    FAQS About This No Bake Cheesecake Bites Recipe

    Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

    Absolutely! Just keep the cheesecake bites in the fridge in the muffin pan until they are set, then transfer them to airtight containers and store until you're ready to serve and eat.

    Do mini cheesecakes need to be refrigerated? 

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