How to Make No Bake Mini Cheesecakes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Pinch of table salt
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
4 ounces (1/2 block) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature and not cold to the touch (do not sub fat free)
1/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberry sauce and blueberries, for serving

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt.
Line a muffin pan with 6 paper liners. Press roughly 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each paper liner. Refrigerate while you work on the filling.
In a large mixing bowl (with a whisk attachment if using a stand mixer), beat the heavy cream on high speed until it thickens and stiff peaks form, roughly 2-3 minutes (when you pull the beaters up, peaks will form and not fall over). Transfer to another bowl and keep cold in the refrigerator.
In the same mixing bowl (no need to clean it – switch to a paddle if using a stand mixer), beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Scrape down the bowl, then fold in the whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
Divide the filling among the paper liners. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
Serve with strawberry sauce and blueberries. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
