You can make no-bake mini cheesecakes ahead of time for dinner parties and other events. Cheesecakes made in muffin pans make perfect servings.
– ¾ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs about 6 full-sheets (90 grams)– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25 grams)– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (45 grams)
Ingredient
NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE FILLING– 12 ounces brick-style cream cheese softened (340 grams)– ¾ cup powdered sugar (90 grams)– 1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice– ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract– 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream (240 ml)
Direction
I always line the muffin pan with cupcake liners. This makes the cheesecakes prettier and keeps them intact when removed from the pan.

Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl to make crusts. Press the crust mixture into the muffin cups with the bottom of a measuring cup to compact it.
My paddle-attached stand mixer makes the filling. Thoroughly mix cream cheese. Lemon juice, vanilla, and powdered sugar follow. Stop and scrape the bowl sides to mix properly.

Mix whipped cream with cheesecake filling: Fold half the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined.
