A simple, colorful, and no-bake cheesecake dessert featuring a graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and fresh strawberries and blueberries, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Optional: finely chopped fresh mint

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in melted unsalted butter and mix until crumbs are evenly moistened and clump together when pressed (about 3 minutes).
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crust mixture into each serving cup. Press firmly to create an even, compact base. Chill cups in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes with an electric mixer).
  4. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions, folding carefully to keep the airy texture (about 5 minutes).
  5. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in each cup, filling to about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops gently. Chill the filled cups in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set.
  6. Just before serving, layer fresh sliced strawberries and blueberries on top of each cheesecake cup. Optionally, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh mint.

Notes

Leave cream cheese out for 30-45 minutes to soften before mixing. Chill bowl and beaters for whipping cream. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese mixture to keep airy texture. Press crust firmly into cups to avoid crumbling. Chill filled cups for at least 1 hour or overnight for best texture. Add berries just before serving to keep fresh and firm.
