Delight in this No Bake Turtle Mini Cheesecake featuring a sweet graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and topped with luscious caramel, chocolate sauce, and crunchy pecans. Perfect for a quick and indulgent dessert without oven time.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chocolate sauce
  • Chopped pecans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into mini cheesecake cups or a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners to create an even crust layer.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped topping to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecakes: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts, filling each cup evenly. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours, allowing them to set properly.
  4. Add Toppings: Once chilled and set, drizzle each mini cheesecake with caramel sauce and chocolate sauce generously. Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top for an added crunch and signature turtle flavor just before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping to achieve a creamy texture.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth blending.
  • These mini cheesecakes should be kept refrigerated and are best enjoyed within 3 days.
  • Feel free to substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • Make sure to press the crust firmly for a sturdy base that holds the filling well.
