Instructions
Creating your amazing No-Bake Cheesecake Cups is straightforward. Follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
2. Distribute the Crust: Spoon the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of serving cups or jars. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon to create an even crust. Set aside.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and there are no lumps.
5. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
6. Fold Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
7. Fill the Cups: Spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the prepared crusts in each cup, smoothing it down with a spatula.
8. Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow them to set properly.
9. Add Toppings: Once set, top with fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, or any toppings of your choice before serving.
By following these straightforward steps, you’ll produce creamy, indulgent No-Bake Cheesecake Cups that everyone will adore.
