Ingredients for No Bake Berry Cheesecakes

For the Crust:

2 sleeves graham crackers, crushed
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted

For the Filling:

2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups assorted fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)

Directions for No Bake Berry Cheesecakes

Step one: Prep Your Pan: Line two standard muffin tins with cupcake liners and set aside.

Step Two: Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step Three: Fill the Liners: Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the crust into each liner. Use the bottom of a ¼ cup measuring cup (or your fingers) to press the crumbs down firmly.

Step Four: Mix the Filling: In a stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

Add vanilla and heavy cream. Mix on low to combine, then whip on medium speed for about a minute. Scrape down the sides and mix again until completely smooth.

Step Five: Assemble: Spoon the cheesecake filling into each cupcake liner, filling just below the top.

Step Six: Chill: Refrigerate your no bake berry cheesecakes for at least 2–4 hours, or until set.

Step Seven: Top & Serve: Right before serving, top each cheesecake with a mix of fresh berries.

Tips & Variations on No Bake Berry Cheesecakes

Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust.
Add zest: A little lemon or orange zest in the filling brightens the flavor.
Sweeten the berries: If your fruit isn’t quite ripe, toss it with a teaspoon of sugar before topping.
Fancy it up: Drizzle with honey or chocolate sauce before serving for a special touch.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. (Although they tend to disappear long before that!)
