No Bake Mini Strawberry Cheesecake Cups are easy to make, require minimal effort, and are sure to impress anyone who takes a bite. I found phyllo cups made from graham crackers in my grocer’s freezer section and knew exactly they would be filled with a delicious and easy cheesecake filling.
I’ve used phyllo cups for a few recipes including these mini Key Lime Mousse Tarts. Other mini desserts that we love are these Mini Mango Tarts and Blueberry Flower Tarts. There’s just something fun about eating mini desserts!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
No Bake Mini Strawberry Cheesecake Cups
Who doesn’t love a good no-bake recipe when you can get cheesecake from it? The filling for these mini cups is easier than you think to whip together. Don’t let the directions of “whisking the heavy cream till soft peaks form” scare you away. It’s easy. I promise, it is.
Now, my favorite part of this recipe is the vanilla extract I used. Adams Best Vanilla Extract is amazing, ya’ll! Strong but not overpowering. It was perfect for this cheesecake filling. I topped the mini cups with a slice of fresh strawberries but If you prefer you can make this strawberry mousse to fill the phyllo cups. Personally, I would make a tray of each!
There is no need to thaw or bake the phyllo cups as they are already baked. While you are preparing the filling the cups will thaw perfectly.
Timesaving Tips and Variation
- Using a stand mixer will help you achieve the soft peaks you need when whipping the heavy cream in no time. However, if you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a handheld electric mixer, it will take a bit longer but it works the same.
- Add the sliced strawberries just before serving, or their juices will discolor the filling.
- These are best served the same day, as the filling will soften the cups the next day. They are still yummy to eat, just not crisp.
- Substitute the slices of strawberries for another fresh fruit like blueberries, raspberries, or even kiwi slices.
