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.

We LOVE cheesecake around here, so naturally, these cheesecake balls are our new favorite thing ever! They are the absolute perfect dessert.

These little cheesecakes are simple to make and will be eaten up as quickly as you can serve them. I honestly love to take the easy way out sometimes and this recipe is great for that!

I just came up with the recipe for these randomly when I had a sweet tooth. The filling is very similar to the cherry icebox cheesecake I made forever ago.

The best part is, you can use this recipe as a base and add any fresh fruit you like. I love to use fresh berries, but gear these towards your taste.

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.

How do you thicken no bake cheesecake batter? ›

Thickener. In a no-bake cheesecake, there are three typical ways that you create structure: folding in stiffly whipped heavy cream, folding in an alternative stabilizer like Cool Whip, or gelatin.

How do you know if no bake cheesecake is bad? ›

When in doubt, give it a smell. A sour, off-putting odor is a definite sign it has spoiled and should not be consumed. Always store your no bake cheesecake in the refrigerator. If not consuming immediately, cover it with a cake dome or plastic wrap, not foil as it can give off a metallic taste.

What not to do when making cheesecake? ›

Cold ingredients are a big no-no when it comes to cheesecake. If your ingredients are cold you will have to mix them longer which will whip too much air into your batter. If the cake has too much air, it will rise too much in the oven and then the middle will sink when cooling. Nobody wants a sad, sunken cheesecake.

What happens if 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?

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.

Why is my no bake cheesecake base too hard? ›

It's often simply a case of compressing the mix too much! I have done this many times before - I press the cookie and butter mix down into the tin too hard. This can make it very hard to cut through once it's set. Try compressing it more gently: it doesn't need to be packed in to set well as a base.

How long does a no bake cheesecake last? ›

To make this cheesecake partially ahead of time, assemble the crust up to a couple of days in advance, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until it's needed. Once filled, the cheesecake is best served within 36 hours, but can be tightly wrapped and refrigerated for up to a week.

How long can a no bake cheesecake sit out? ›

At room temperature, cheesecake can sit out for up to 4 hours. This is because the room temperature is usually around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the ideal temperature for cheesecake. However, if the room temperature exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit, it's best to refrigerate the cheesecake after 2 hours.

Should I cover no-bake cheesecake in the fridge? ›

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 brand of cream cheese is best for cheesecake? ›

Philadelphia cream cheese is a popular brand of cream cheese that is often used in cheesecake recipes, but there are many other brands of cream cheese that can be used as well.

Why is my no-bake cheesecake filling lumpy? ›

Your cream cheese needs to be room temperature before mixing. Trying to whip cold cream cheese into the filling will result in little lumps. Try this: Pull the cream cheese out of the fridge at least an hour before mixing. Unwrap the cream cheese and cut it into cubes if you're in a hurry to get the cake in the fridge.

Can I put my no bake cheesecake in the freezer to set? ›

This makes for a great make-ahead dessert! Do not freeze the cheesecake to set it. The filling won't slice and you'll lose the velvet texture!

Can you put a no bake cheesecake in the freezer to speed up the process? ›

We do not recommend freezing our no-bake cheesecake as a way to speed up the chilling and setting process because freezing will impact the texture of both the filling and the crust. We also do not recommend freezing the cheesecake as a make-ahead strategy.

Why is my no bake cheesecake gooey? ›

I'd say it's too much liquid in the cheesecake batter and it didn't set fast enough and the liquid and moisture got into the base. Baking the base would help, but I guess if you need to bake it then there's no point to make a no bake cheesecake. Buiscuits, butter and a bit of cocoa powder for the base.

Can I put a cheesecake in the freezer to set? ›

Before you can freeze cheesecake, you must let it cool completely at room temperature and then fully set and chill in the fridge overnight. If you're making a no-bake cheesecake, make sure it's chilled long enough to fully set. Once your cheesecake is chilled, you can wrap it and freeze it as is.
