Instructions
Making No-Bake Cheesecake Cups is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to create your delicious dessert:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Layer the Crust: Take small cups or jars and scoop the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of each cup. Press down firmly to ensure it holds shape.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture, being careful not to deflate the airy texture.
5. Fill the Cups: Scoop the cheesecake filling into each cup over the crust layer. Smooth the top with a spatula or spoon.
6. Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
7. Add Toppings: Once chilled, add your favorite toppings right before serving. Berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel add a beautiful and delicious finish.
With these step-by-step guidelines, you will master the art of making No-Bake Cheesecake Cups that are perfectly set and delicious.
