These No-Bake Mini Cheesecakes have a delicious Cinnamon Toast Crunch Crust and were inspired by my recent trip to the Hatcher Family Dairy Farm in partnership with The Dairy Alliance. All Opinions Are My Own.
Made with four dairy products, these no-bake mini cheesecakes are rich in flavor and make the perfect quick and easy dessert! Additionally, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch provides the perfect sweet cinnamon flavor that makes these mini cheesecakes so delicious!
So without further ado, here’s what you need to make this delicious dairy inspired recipe:
– Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal (not a fan? You could use graham crackers instead)
-Brown Sugar
-Butter
-Cream Cheese
-Powdered Sugar
-Vanilla Extract
-Heavy Cream
-Sweetened Condensed Milk
-Lemon Juice
-Strawberry Preserves
While you can top them any way that you’d like, I decided to do a strawberry swirl so that I could simply grab one and enjoy it right then and there!
Did it mention that these are super easy to make?
Simply toss your Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal in a food processor and blend until they are finely ground (or grab a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin). Next add the brown sugar and butter until you get a consistency that resembles wet sand.
Then, using the back of a measuring cup, press down your crust into the lined mini cupcake pan and refrigerate.
To make the cheesecake, combine the rest of your ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy!
Next, add the cheesecake mixture to each of your mini cheesecake crusts. While you can definitely stop here, if you’d like to make them a bit more decadent, take about two teaspoons of strawberry preserves (or any other fruit) and dollop onto each mini cheesecake. Then swirl them around in your cheesecake mixture with a toothpick!
Next, refrigerate your mini cheesecakes for at least 6 hrs or until firm. You could also refrigerate them overnight if you have the time. Then, simply remove from the fridge and serve!
There You Have It!
Super easy no-bake cheesecakes that you can enjoy at your next holiday gathering or as a sweet treat after a long day! Don’t be afraid to mix it up with your toppings! These cheesecakes would be delicious with any fresh fruit topping or even with a delicious chocolate drizzle (yum)!
