Instructions
Making No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake Cups is an easy process. Follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare Graham Cracker Crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
2. Build Crust Layers:
Divide the mixture evenly among serving cups or small jars and press it down to form a firm crust layer. Set aside.
3. Make Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
4. Whip Cream:
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture. This will create a light and fluffy filling.
5. Add Raspberries and Lemon Juice:
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and lemon juice with the cheesecake mixture. Ensure the raspberries are distributed evenly.
6. Fill the Cups:
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling on top of the graham cracker crust in each cup, filling them generously.
7. Chill the Cups:
Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Garnish and Serve:
Before serving, top each cheesecake cup with additional raspberries and mint leaves for a decorative touch.
With these simple steps, you’ll have delicious cheesecake cups ready to impress your guests!
