Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup Crushed Graham Crackers
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Melted Unsalted Butter

Filling

  • 16 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Toppings

  • Fresh Berries (For topping)
  • Chocolate Shavings (For topping)
  • Caramel Sauce (For topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and granulated sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the sugar throughout the crumbs.
  2. Add butter: Pour in the melted unsalted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
  3. Form crusts: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a muffin tin lined with paper liners to create an even crust layer.
  4. Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add sugar and vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla bean paste to the cream cheese, mixing continuously until the filling is fluffy and well combined.
  6. Whip cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, indicating a thick and airy texture.
  7. Fold cream into filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care to maintain the light and airy texture without deflating it.
  8. Assemble cheesecakes: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly into each prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spoon or spatula for a neat finish.
  9. Chill: Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecakes to set properly.
  10. Remove liners: Once chilled and set, carefully peel away the paper liners from each mini cheesecake.
  11. Add toppings: Top each mini cheesecake with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce as desired.
  12. Serve: Serve the mini cheesecakes chilled for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your delicious no-bake treat!

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for a smoother, lump-free filling.
  • Ensure the heavy whipping cream is cold before whipping to achieve stiff peaks.
  • The chilling time is essential for proper setting—do not skip or reduce the refrigeration time.
  • You can substitute the graham cracker crust with digestive biscuits if preferred.
  • These cheesecakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
