We love no bake treats around here, and these are absolutely delicious! They are so easy to make and your family will absolutely love them.

How to Make Cheesecake Cups

This is a brief overview of how easy this recipe is. For the full recipe with all of the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

  1. Make a crust. Combine crushed Oreos and melted butter, and press them into the bottom of eight small mason jars.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling. Combine the cream cheese, Cool Whip, vanilla, cake mix, and milk. Gently stir in the sprinkles
  3. Put together the cups. Divide the filling amongst the eight mason jars. Refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
  4. Garnish the cups. Top the cups with whipped cream, sprinkles, and cherries. Serve and enjoy!

Oreo Crust

The simple crust we are making in this recipe is fantastic. It’s just butter and crushed Oreos and works so well. If you can find Birthday Cake Oreos and manage to not eat them all in one sitting, they work fantastic in this recipe. But really golden Oreos work amazing as well.

Variations

  • Make them vanilla. If you love the idea of these but don’t want to add cake mix, just leave it out! You can bump up the vanilla extract to 1 to 2 teaspoons.
  • Make them chocolate. Swap the cake mix for 1/2 cup cocoa powder.
  • Top them with pie filling. Make them plain vanilla as mentioned above, but instead of topping with whipped cream, top them with pie filling like blueberry, cherry, or apple.

Topping Cheesecake Cups with Whipped Cream

Whipped cream is the perfect topping for no bake cheesecakes cups. It is easy to make, and goes so well on top. If you would like it to be piped beautifully and hold its piping, consider making my stabilized whipped cream instead.

Whipped Cream

Homemade Whipped Cream comes together with only two ingredients and it is perfect for topping all of your homemade desserts and pies.

Storing

These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days. If planning on storing, leave off the toppings, and use the mason jar lids to seal them. I do not recommend freezing these as the texture of the cream cheese will change in an unfavorable way. As with all recipes, use your best discretion when it comes to leftovers.
