Description
Easy no-bake mini cheesecakes with a buttery graham cracker crust and a thick, creamy filling, chilled for an hour and topped with festive mini cookies, mint chocolate chips, or other holiday toppings.
Ingredients
1 package (11.1 ounces) no-bake real cheesecake dessert mix (includes the graham cracker crust mix and the filling mix)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups cold milk (the source used 1% cow’s milk; soy milk makes the filling set softer)
Toppings, as desired: mini mint chocolate cookies, mint chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, and similar
Instructions
1. Line a muffin pan with 9 large muffin liners (or 12 medium liners).
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high power, about 1 minute.
3. Add the graham cracker crust mix from the package and the sugar to the melted butter and mix with a fork until the crumbs are evenly coated.
4. Add about 2 tablespoons of the crust mixture to each liner (use a little less if using 12 liners). Pack it down firmly with the back of a spoon to form an even, smooth crust layer.
5. In a large bowl, add the milk and the filling mix from the package. Beat with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 3 minutes. The mixture will be thick.
6. Add about 3 to 4 tablespoons of filling to each liner and smooth the tops lightly with the back of a spoon.
7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight also works), or until set.
8. Top with an assortment of mini cookies, mint chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, or other toppings as desired, and serve.
