Recipe Ingredients
How to Make No-Bake Cheesecake Bites
Graham Cracker Crust
Prep the Pan – Line a 12-well mini muffin pan with muffin wrappers or line ring molds with parchment paper. If using a silicone muffin pan, grease it with baking spray. Crush the Crackers – Place graham crackers in a Ziploc bag and finely crush them using a rolling pin. (A food processor will also crush them). (Photos 1-2) Add Sugar and Butter – Transfer crushed crackers to a medium mixing bowl, add sugar and cinnamon, and mix well until thoroughly combined. Finally, add melted butter and continue mixing until fully incorporated and resembles wet sand. (Photos 3-5) Fill molds – Evenly distribute 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker crust mixture into the bottom of each cupcake well and press down with the bottom of a cup or the back of a spoon to form the crust. When all 12 graham cracker crusts are flattened, put the pan in the refrigerator and move on to the cheesecake filling. (Photo 6)
Cheesecake Filling
Whisk the cream cheese and sugar using a hand mixer in a medium-large bowl until it’s smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Then, add the sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla, and beat together until combined and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. (Photos 7-9) Whip the Cream – Pour heavy cream into a separate medium-large bowl and whisk it vigorously until thick and stiff peaks form, 5-8 minutes. Fold in Whipped Cream – Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese and fold gently until fully incorporated. (Photos 10-11) Fill Molds – Evenly distribute the cheesecake filling on the graham cracker crusts until the liners are almost full. Nicely flatten the top using a flat side of a spatula. Place cheesecake bites in the refrigerator and chill for 3-4 hours or overnight until completely set.

Tips and Tricks
Make-Ahead Instructions
Make these tiny cheesecake bites a day ahead and keep them in the fridge. Or freeze them for surprise guests because they are good cold and don’t take long to thaw.
Serving and Storage Instructions
After 3 hours, they should be set. Serve no-bake cheesecake bites immediately with an extra whipped cream or fruit topping dollop. To store leftover cheesecake bites, cover them with plastic wrap or put them in an airtight container. They’re best within a day or two, but they’ll keep in the fridge for 3 days or freezer for 2 months.
