No Bake Berry Cheesecake Bowls (Printable)

Creamy cheesecake layered with fresh berries and crunchy biscuit base, ready in 15 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Biscuit Base

01 - 4.2 ounces graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed
02 - 1.4 ounces unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - 8.8 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
05 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

→ Berry Topping

08 - 7 ounces mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
09 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
10 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine the crushed biscuits with melted butter in a mixing bowl until evenly coated. Distribute the mixture among four small serving bowls and press down gently to create a compact base layer.
02 - Beat the softened cream cheese in a separate bowl until completely smooth. Incorporate the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest if using. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined.
03 - Using a hand or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
04 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, incorporating until the filling is creamy, smooth, and uniform in texture.
05 - Spoon or pipe the prepared cheesecake filling over the biscuit base in each serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
06 - Toss the mixed fresh berries with honey or maple syrup in a small bowl until lightly coated. Distribute the sweetened berries over the cheesecake layer in each bowl.
07 - Top with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately for a softer texture or refrigerate for at least 1 hour for a firmer, set cheesecake.
