• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
• 2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
• A single teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
• Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) for garnish
• Mint leaves for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now that we have all our ingredients, let’s get started on making these delicious mini no-bake cheesecakes:

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

• In a mixing bowl, combine the Keebler Graham Cracker Crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
• Stir until the butter and sugar coat the crumbs uniformly.

Step 2: Create the Crust Base

• Take a mini cheesecake pan or a muffin tin and line it with cupcake liners.
• Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of each cup to create the crust base.
• Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a separate mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend the softened cream cheese until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Then, incorporate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly combined.

Step 4: Whip the Cream

• In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
•  This will make the filling light and fluffy.

Step 5: Fill the Cups

• Remove the crust base from the refrigerator.
• Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each cup, filling them almost to the top.

Step 6: Chill

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the cheesecakes are firm.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

• Just before serving, garnish each mini cheesecake with fresh berries and a mint leaf.
• Enjoy your delightful Keebler Mini No-Bake Cheesecakes!
