Make these creamy, individual mini cheesecake cups without turning on your oven. This simple recipe uses a graham cracker crust and a rich filling, perfect for parties or a quick dessert.

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 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries) for topping
  • Optional: Chocolate drizzle or caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter until fully combined.
  2. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottoms 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 until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and beat on medium speed until the filling is light and fluffy. Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts in each muffin cup. Smooth the tops.
  6. Chill the mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, chill overnight.
  7. Before serving, remove the paper liners. Top each mini cheesecake cup with fresh berries or your preferred topping.

Notes

  • For a New York style texture, use full-fat cream cheese and ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
  • If you prefer a brownie bottom, substitute the graham cracker crust with a small, pre-baked brownie square pressed into the liner before adding the filling.
  • These individual cheesecake desserts keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
