Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and form a crumbly mixture.
  2. Distribute the Crust: Portion the graham cracker mixture into mini jars or cupcake liners. Press down firmly to create a compact and even crust at the bottom of each container.
  3. Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to beat until the mixture is well combined and silky.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form to add lightness and volume to the cheesecake filling.
  5. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture carefully to maintain the airy texture, ensuring the mixture is smooth and uniform without deflating the cream.
  6. Fill Jars: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust in each mini jar or liner, filling to the top. Smooth the surface with a spatula for a neat finish.
  7. Chill: Cover the cheesecakes with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set properly.
  8. Prepare Topping (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter topping, toss fresh blackberries with sugar and let them sit for about 15 minutes to release their juices, enhancing their natural sweetness.
  9. Top the Cheesecakes: Just before serving, place the sugared or plain blackberries atop each mini cheesecake and garnish with a mint leaf for added freshness and visual appeal.
  10. Serve: Arrange the mini cheesecakes on a serving platter and enjoy this delicious no-bake treat with your guests.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • To soften cream cheese quickly, leave it out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing.
  • You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits or any similar cookie crumbs for the crust.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar in the crust and filling to your taste.
  • These mini cheesecakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; do not freeze as texture may be affected.
  • For a different berry topping, try raspberries or blueberries for a twist.
  • If whipping cream is challenging, chilling your bowl and beaters beforehand helps achieve stiff peaks faster.
