Easy No Bake Mini Cheesecakes [No Gelatin]

You are in for a treat with my recipe for easy no bake mini cheesecakes.

As you know from our baked cheesecake recipe, my family loves any kind of cheesecake, baked or no-bake. And these flavorsome light and creamy mini cheesecakes are no exception.

These delicious mini cheesecakes don’t need to be baked and have no gelatin which is very important to my almost 12-year-old daughter who has been a vegetarian for a few years now.

The crust consists of crumbed biscuits mixed with melted butter. Once you press the mixture into individual cupcake form, it is best to put them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

The filling is so light and creamy and has an almost mousse-like texture. The freshly pressed lemon juice and lemon zest give it a slightly tangy flavor.

I don’t add too much sugar, in this case, powdered sugar, so it doesn’t taste too sweet.

Cream cheese mixed with double cream is a perfect match to achieve a glossy smooth mixture, ready to be poured into our cupcake holders. I prefer to use an electric hand mixer to mix all the ingredients together to also achieve a light and airy texture.

Once you filled the cheesecake filling into the liners, tap the cupcakes to release any air bubbles. Now put the mini cheesecakes into a muffin pan. Then these little treats go into the freezer for at least 3 hours.

Take our delicious no-bake mini cheesecakes out 30 minutes before serving. That is also the best time to decorate them.

Extra Tip: I always have a few mini cheesecakes in my freezer for unexpected guests. Once your guests arrive, simply take the cheesecakes out of the freezer and let them defrost.

By the time your cup of coffee is ready, the mini cheesecakes should be ready.

Chocolate Decoration For Easy No Bake Mini Cheesecakes

Our easy no bake mini cheesecakes look so much more impressive when you decorate using homemade chocolate decoration.

I love to make my own chocolate decoration even though I am not an artsy person. And you don’t have to be.

Making your own chocolate creations is fun, and surprisingly easy to make. Rest assured, the more you practice the better you become.

All you need to do is make a little piping bag from parchment paper or small plastic bag. Melt cooking chocolate over hot water and fill it into the piping bag.

Now you just draw the decorations on parchment paper. Once you’re done, the sheet with the chocolate ornaments goes into the fridge for at least 15 minutes or until they are set.

Extra Tip: You can keep the chocolate decoration in a plastic container in the fridge for a few weeks.
That way, you always have some handy when you need it.
