Delight in these festive No-Bake Christmas Mini Cheesecakes, featuring a buttery graham cracker crust and a smooth, creamy cheesecake filling topped with holiday sprinkles and optional crushed candy canes. Perfect for a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • Red and green sprinkles
  • Optional: Crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is well blended and holds together.
  2. Form the bases: Firmly press the crumb mixture into cupcake liners or silicone molds to create an even crust layer, then chill in the refrigerator to allow it to set and harden.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, providing the filling with lightness and volume.
  5. Combine filling components: Gently fold the whipped cream and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture, taking care to maintain the airy texture.
  6. Assemble cheesecakes: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust bases, smoothing the top surfaces evenly.
  7. Add toppings: Decorate the tops with red and green sprinkles, and optionally sprinkle crushed candy canes for a festive touch.
  8. Chill to set: Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes until fully set and firm, typically about 2 hours, before serving.

Notes

  • Use silicone molds for easy removal without cracking the crust or filling.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is thoroughly softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • For a stronger vanilla flavor, use pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste.
  • Allow enough chilling time for the cheesecakes to firm properly before serving.
  • These mini cheesecakes can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
