Ingredients & Equipment Needed For This Recipe
Ingredients:
Crust
- Gingersnap Cookies– These can be of any brand or variety and can easily be swapped out for the traditional graham cracker crust.

- Granulated Sugar-Just a little bit.
- Kosher Salt- For that touch of salt to round out the sweetness.
Filling:
- Cream Cheese– As soft as possible.
- Heavy Whipping Cream– the key to the “no bake” part of the dessert.
- Clover or Raw Honey– The choice is yours!
- Vanilla Extract or Paste– Depending on how much vanilla flavor you want in your dessert.
Fruit or Sauce to Garnish
Equipment:
- Set of Measuring Cups & Spoons (Liquid too) OR Digital Kitchen Scale if using Metric
- Hand or Stand Mixer– If using a hand mixer, you will need an extra Medium Mixing Bowl.
- Small Mixing Bowl– Preferably a glass or microwave safe bowl to melt the butter and also mix up the crust.
- Rubber Spatula– Best way to ensure there are no lumps of cream cheese not mixed.
- Muffin/Cupcake Pan– To hold the mini cheesecakes to set.
- Cupcake Liners– These are to give the desserts a shape as well as to help from sticking to the pan.
- 1 ounce Cookie Scoop– This is what I use to scoop my batter into the pans. You can find the one I use here.
My Kinda Professional Tips For Mini Honey No Bake Cheesecakes
- Make sure that you cream cheese is SOFT. Another key is to make sure your heavy cream is room temperature too. This will help make sure there are no lumps. If the heavy cream is cold then it will make some of the cream cheese ball up and you don’t want that!
- Let the cheesecakes set in the freezer until ready to serve. The more the cheesecake has to chill the better texture it will get.
- These no bake mini honey cheesecakes will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge, in a close-able container. If well wrapped and kept in the freezer, they will keep for up to 2 weeks. A perfect make ahead dessert!
