Easy No-Bake Cheesecake Bites
Enjoy these delightful Easy No-Bake Cheesecake Bites, a simple and creamy dessert perfect for any occasion without the fuss of baking.
Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened smooth texture
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar adds sweetness and moisture
- 1 tsp vanilla extract enhances flavor
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip) light and airy structure
For the Coating
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs provides crunch
- Chocolate or fruit toppings (optional) added flavor and decoration
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by placing the softened cream cheese into a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, blend the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar while mixing on low speed. Once incorporated, increase to medium speed and mix until thoroughly combined, for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix on low speed for about 30 seconds, until evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spoon or spatula until just combined, taking care to maintain lightness.
- In a separate bowl, place the graham cracker crumbs. Scoop approximately a tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture, roll it into a ball, and coat it in the graham cracker crumbs.
- Once all bites are shaped and coated, drizzle with chocolate or fruit toppings if desired.
- Place the bites in the refrigerator for about an hour to chill and firm up.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for about a month. Consider adding lemon zest or using different cookie crumbs for variety.
