Ingredients of
Individual No-Bake Cheesecake

Crust:

  • 3/4 cup (85g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp butter

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1 pkg (8 oz/225g) cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 - 2 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream or whipping cream
  • Diced fresh fruit for topping (I prefer strawberries and blueberries)

How to Make
Individual No-Bake Cheesecake

Crust:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together crumbs and melted butter until combined and crumbs are moistened. 
  2.  Divide evenly between individual serving dishes (about 2 tablespoons per serving dish).  
  3. Press on the mixture with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form a crust layer.  
  4. Refrigerate.

Cheesecake Filling:

  1. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar, and whisk with an electric mixer until combined and completely smooth.  Mix in vanilla and lemon zest.  Set aside to let the sugar dissolve into the cream cheese.  
  2. Whisk the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.  Avoid over-beating.
  3. Using a spatula, gently fold half of the shipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the other half.  Evenly spoon about 1/2 cup of filling into each serving dish.  Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
  4. When ready to serve, top with fresh fruit.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with different toppings. You may want to leave out the lemon zest in your filling if you are using candy bar toppings.
