A quick and easy no-bake cheesecake dessert made with just four simple ingredients, perfect for any occasion and ready in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 ½ cups (150 g) graham crackers, crushed
  • 5 tbsp (70 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, caramel sauce, chocolate shavings, honey

Instructions

  1. Crush the graham crackers finely using a food processor or place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. Add the melted unsalted butter to the crumbs and stir until the mixture is evenly moist and holds together when pressed, about 3 minutes.
  3. Spoon the crust mixture evenly into serving cups (about 2 tablespoons per cup). Press down firmly to form a compact base. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  5. In a separate cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, being careful not to overbeat.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, folding slowly to keep the mixture airy and light, about 2 minutes.
  7. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts, filling each cup to the top. Smooth the surface with a spoon.
  8. Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up. Overnight chilling is recommended for best flavor melding.
  9. Just before serving, add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes to avoid lumps. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Whip cream in a chilled bowl to achieve soft peaks. Chill assembled cups for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results. Optional vanilla extract adds depth. Can substitute ingredients for dietary needs.
