No-Bake Mini Cheesecakes Make It Easy to Treat Yourself — 6 Easy, Creamy Recipes

Cheesecake is a dessert classic for good reason — it’s rich, indulgent and deliciously creamy. But baking up a whole cheesecake can be quite time-intensive. The easy fix: no-bake mini cheesecakes! Not having to turn on your oven means your kitchen stays cool. Plus, the mini size makes for easy entertaining (no slicing and plating!). Ready for the stress-free way to satisfy your sweet tooth? Keep scrolling for our favorite no-bake mini cheesecake recipes, plus tips and tricks that guarantee tasty results.

The #1 secret to perfect no-bake mini cheesecakes

For best results with no-bake mini cheesecakes, we like to start with room-temperature cream cheese. That way, when whisking up your batter, the cheese will be evenly distributed with zero lumps. Often when cheesecakes are baked, this is less of a concern, as the cheese softens while it’s in the oven. However, because these treats never see heat, it’s important not to skip this step.

Need to soften cream cheese in a flash? Try filling a bowl with warm water, then placing the cream cheese (in its packaging) in the water for 5-10 minutes. Once removed, your cream cheese will be perfectly soft and ready for mixing. (Click through for even more delicious cream cheese recipes.)

And when it comes to crumb crusts, for the best texture, pack the crumbs tightly. The simple secret to do just that: Spread the crumb mixture evenly into the bottoms of your ring molds or muffin tins. Then, using a small, straight-sided measuring cup, press on the mixture with the bottom of the cup; its curved sides allow you to press evenly right to the edges.
