Instructions
Creating these Individual Berry No Bake Cheesecakes is simple. Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated.
2. Assemble the Crust: Evenly distribute the crumb mixture into individual serving cups or small jars. Press down firmly to form a base.
3. Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
5. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Take care not to deflate the whipped cream for a light and airy texture.
6. Fill the Cups: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture on top of the prepared crusts. Be sure to fill them to the top.
7. Chill: Cover the cheesecakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1.5 hours to set.
8. Add Berries: Before serving, top each cheesecake with fresh berries. You can create a beautiful pattern or simply pile them on.
9. Garnish: For an extra touch, add a mint leaf on top of the berries.
