Cheesecake Dessert Cups

Cheesecake Dessert Cups are served in individually portioned 2-oz shot glasses and are made with a simple graham cracker crust and a creamy no-bake cheesecake filling! Finish yours off with your favorite toppings, like whipped cream or fruit pie filling!

Hey everyone! Sam here again from Sugar Spun Run! Today I have a simple and entirely no-bake recipe for you: Cheesecake Dessert Cups! This recipe is based off of my favorite no-bake cheesecake recipe, but is slightly modified to be suited for being served in mini cups. A benefit of serving them this way in the cups (instead of in a springform pan) is that since you don’t need to worry about slicing the cheesecake, you don’t need to wait for the cheesecake filling to set. Once your cheesecake batter has been portioned, you can dig right in! These creamy cheesecake dessert cups are so easy to make, so let’s get right to the recipe. We’ll start with a simple, three-ingredient graham cracker crust — one that doesn’t require any pre-baking.

How do I make a No-Bake Graham Cracker Crust?

This recipe is based off of my super simple graham cracker crust, and you just need three ingredients: Graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. If you don’t have pre-made graham cracker crumbs on hand, you can crush about 3 ½ graham cracker sheets to make them yourself, just make sure you crush the crumbs very well (I like to use a food processor). We’ll also add just a dash of sugar to the mix, and then melted butter is what will serve to help bind the ingredients together and make a true crust in the bottom of each cheesecake cup.

What toppings should I use over a no-bake cheesecake filling?

These Cheesecake Dessert Cups taste great with just about any topping, but my favorites are homemade whipped cream or fruit pie filling. Cherry or Raspberry pie filling both are great on top of no-bake cheesecake, if you don’t feel like making your own you can just buy the canned store-bought filling (which is what I did for the Cheesecake Dessert Cup in the first picture — easy and delicious!).

These cheesecake dessert cups are always a hit whenever I take them to a party or a potluck. They’re easy to make, easy to customize, and fun to eat. I hope you’ll try them out and let me know how you like them! Enjoy! All nutritional information is based on third party calculations and is only an estimate.
