Raspberry No Bake Cheesecake Bites (Easy Recipe) (1)

These little no bake cheesecake bites are so cute and bursting with flavor and are sure to curb your cheesecake craving in a jiffy! The creamy cheesecake filling mixture is coated in graham cracker crumbs, mimicking bake cheesecakes.

What’s your favorite berry?? Raspberries are my absolute fav. I used to eat them by the handful off of my Aunt’s raspberry bush when I was little, yummy!!

I hope you enjoy these little cuties No Bake Cheesecake Bites, we sure did! Don’t be surprised if you are asked for the recipe again and again!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

CAN THESE BE FROZEN?

Yes! These must be left in the freezer in air-tight containers, pop a few (or 10!) out, let them soften up just a bit, then go to town!

Jeremy looooooved them and said they tasted just like the cheesecake he loves, score!

To be honest, I’m not sure how great these would be at a party only because if they sit out too long, they do get very soft. Not runny soft but not easily picked up.

So, I would experiment with them before putting them on a huge buffet set up! That being said, they are excellent.

DO I HAVE TO USE WHIPPED TOPPING?

No, it is a faster and easier option, but you can make fresh whipped cream for this.

You will need 1 cup of cold heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.

  • Place the heavy cream in the body of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or into a large bowl with an electric hand mixer and beat until the cream gets foamy over medium-low speed.
  • Add in the vanilla and the powdered sugar a little at a time until mixed in.
  • Crank the speed up to medium and whip until it forms stiff peaks, 3-5 minutes.

Use this in place of the whipped topping called for in the recipe.

HOW MANY GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS FROM ONE SLEEVE OF GRAHAM CRACKERS?

1 sheet of graham crackers (9 whole crackers) equals about 1 & 1/2 cups of crushed graham cracker crumbs.

CAN THESE BE MADE AHEAD?

Absolutely, that is what I love most about this dessert.

The best part is being able to prepare it in advance, keep them in the freezer then serve them up at your convenience.

WHAT OTHER FRUIT CAN I USE?

Almost any berry or fresh fruit can be used. Whole raspberries work well because they will break down on their own while you stir them in.

For other fruit and berries, I suggest chopping them finely before adding them.

FAQs

How do you keep a no-bake cheesecake firm? ›

Cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6–8 hours and up to 2 days. For best results, 12 hours is best. I chill mine overnight. The longer refrigerated, the nicer the no-bake cheesecake will set up.

What is no-bake cheesecake filling made of? ›

For the Filling: Combine cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix at low speed to form a thick paste, then increase to medium speed until soft and smooth.

How do you make a no-bake cheesecake set faster? ›

Yes, you can freeze a no-bake cheesecake to hasten its setting time.

Which is better baked or no-bake cheesecake? ›

They both are great in their own way. It all narrows down to your personal preferences. If you enjoy dense and velvety cake, a baked cheesecake is the one for you. Or if you crave some light and airy dessert post-dinner, go for the no-bake one.

Why won't no bake cheesecake harden? ›

The primary reason a no-bake cheesecake is too runny or doesn't set up properly is generally the temperature of the ingredients. If your cream cheese is too warm, the mixture will be too soft and will never set up properly.

Can you leave no bake cheesecake out overnight? ›

Even if your recipe is traditional in that you bake your cheesecake (no-bake recipes don't contain eggs), once it has had a chance to cool outside the oven (about an hour), it must go back in the fridge.

Why is my no bake cheesecake so runny? ›

In some cases, your filling just needs more time to chill. No-bake cheesecakes generally need at least 4-6 hours in the refrigerator to set properly. If your filling is still runny after that time, try chilling it for another 2-4 hours.

Can you eat Philadelphia no bake cheesecake filling? ›

Yes, Philadelphia makes a 24-ounce tub of pre-made cheesecake filling that you can use directly from the fridge—no baking necessary. The tub has everything you want from the sugary, sweet, cream cheese filling of a cheesecake, and it's ready to serve as-is.

Can you over mix no bake cheesecake? ›

If you are making a plain cheesecake such as my no-bake vanilla cheesecake, you can probably get away with cold ingredients, but generally the cream cheese should be room temp. Often a cheesecake mixture can split or curdle because of over mixing – I often get comments of 'how long do I mix for?

Should I cover no bake cheesecake in the fridge? ›

No-bake cheesecakes should be stored in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and prevent spoilage. Here are some tips for storing no-bake cheesecakes: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or foil to prevent it from drying out or absorbing any odors from other foods in the fridge.

Why is my no bake cheesecake base too hard? ›

If you find that the crumb base is still too hard, then you could slightly reduce the amount of butter used, though we would advise caution on this as the base could become too crumbly instead.

What is the difference between New York style cheesecake and regular cheesecake? ›

Regular cheesecake relies on heavy cream and sour cream to thin the batter and create a silkier, creamier texture. New York cheesecake is heavy on the cream cheese which is why it's so dense and rich. Extra cream cheese isn't the only thing that makes New York cheesecake so special.

Why is my no bake cheesecake lumpy? ›

Cream cheese may become lumpy in cheesecake if it is not properly creamed with the sugar, if it is added too quickly, or if the batter is overmixed.

How to fix a runny no bake cheesecake? ›

You can fix a runny cheesecake mixture the same as the others – with a setting agent – or freezing to make an ice cream mixture. Sometimes the cheesecake can be too thin if a chocolate has melted the mixture for example – and this is also solved this way.

How to stop cheesecake base from going soggy? ›

Tip: To get more crispness in the cheesecake base, brush some lightly beaten egg white over the surface of the biscuit layer before you bake it. The egg wash will form a layer between the cheesecake base and filling, and this will help to reduce the amount of moisture penetrating the biscuit base.

Why is my no bake cheesecake flat? ›

Cream cheese and whipped cream will not form a thick enough texture on their own to mimic a firm cheesecake. Your solution is to put gelatin into your mix for that firmer texture. The texture you have in the picture is how a no bake cheesecake will look.
