Easy Berry Cheesecake Cups

These Easy Berry Cheesecake Cups are the best no-bake dessert! Start with an easy and delicious cheesecake filling, then layer it with fresh berries and homemade whipped cream. These are the perfect make-ahead parfaits for summer parties and Fourth of July celebrations!

If you love no-bake cheesecake or any type of parfait dessert, these Easy Berry Cheesecake Cups are just for you! The creamy cheesecake filling is super simple to make, but tastes delicious with the fresh berries and whipped cream.

This dessert is perfect for summer, especially Fourth of July! If you are looking for other desserts for the Fourth, these Oatmeal Cream Pies would be great, as would this Lemon Blueberry Poke Cake or this S’mores Ice Box Cake.

Why this recipe is great:

• This no-bake cheesecake filling is delicious! It’s super creamy and sweet, which is balanced with a little tang from the cream cheese. Paired with berries, this is one of the best flavor combos out there.
• You can make these dessert cups just before serving, or you can make them ahead and store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
• I love individual desserts because everyone can come and grab one with no extra slicing or serving. This recipe is perfect for serving at parties for just that reason.

Ingredients:

This recipe only calls for 6 ingredients, most of which you probably already have on hand. Start with heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream cheese. Then you’ll need fresh blueberries and strawberries for the layers, as well as extra whipped cream for topping (homemade or store-bought).

How to make Easy Berry Cheesecake Cups:

WHIP THE CREAM: In the bowl of your stand mixer beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla just until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

BEAT THE CREAM CHEESE: In another bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth.

COMBINE: Next, add the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and stir until combined.

ASSEMBLE: First, spoon a small amount of chopped strawberries into the bottom of each cup. Then top with a little cheesecake filling, followed by some blueberries. Repeat this process one more time. Garnish with extra whipped cream and mint if desired.

Tips for making these cheesecake parfaits:

• When making the cheesecake filling, be careful to mix the cream cheese and whipped cream together gently. If mixed harshly or over-mixed, all the air will be beat out of the cream. Then you won’t have that fluffy texture.
• If not eating right away, make sure to store these covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• You can decorate these with a swirl of fresh whipped cream, a sprinkle of extra berries, or a sprig of mint. A little decoration makes them extra festive!
