Party Desserts
You can never go wrong with traditional cheesecake but my absolute favorites are no bake cheesecakes. They’re just the right size and so simple that they can be made in minutes! I’ve made everything from mini Oreo cheesecakes to chocolate caramel cheesecake (and have more up my sleeve for next time!). They’re the perfect little desserts and are a crowd pleaser every time!
When it comes to easy desserts to make, it doesn’t get much better than a no bake dessert. Just switch out a couple ingredients and you can make anything from Oreo Cheesecake Bites to mouthwatering salted caramel dark chocolate cheesecake bites.

No Bake Cheesecake Bites
This no bake cheesecake is one of my favorite things to make because you only need a few ingredients. Start by combining room temperature cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
Mix at medium speed with your stand mixer until smooth and creamy. I’m totally obsessed with my new Kitchenaid mixer. It’s SO much more convenient than the hand mixer that I used for years…don’t know why I took so long to make the switch!
In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture.
A lot of people make a graham cracker crust for their cheesecake filling. It is pretty easy to make…just combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar. However, I’m a huge fan of these fillo shells for all my quick, easy desserts!
Place the shells on a baking sheet and fill an icing bag with your creamy cheesecake mixture. Then just fill all the shells. You can bake them for a couple minutes first to make them more crispy but that’s totally optional. I only do it when I have extra time to spare but they taste great either way.
Finally, top with fruit. I like raspberries and blueberries but you can use any fruit you like. Strawberries and blackberries taste great too!
I love these bite size desserts for parties but who says you can’t treat yourself. Taste testing is a very important part of making party desserts so be sure you get a couple before all your guests beat you to it!
The red, white and blue make these the perfect little bites for Memorial Day and July 4th but these quick and easy desserts taste great any time of year.
The first batch I left as is but when I made these again recently, I added a little powdered sugar on top. They look even prettier, don’t you think?
I may just started sprinkling a little powdered sugar over all my desserts! It only takes an extra second and really adds a little something extra.
There are so many things you can do with these no bake cheesecake bites too! Add some mini chocolate chips, stir in white chocolate or add crumbled OREO cookies! You really can’t go wrong! Just remember, these go FAST so you may want to make a double batch!
FAQ:
Does cheesecake need to be refrigerated?
Yes, cheesecake should be refrigerated until ready to serve.
Can I make these these ahead of time?
The best part about this easy dessert is that you can make it ahead of time. Just store the cheesecake mixture in an airtight container. Then add it to the shells just before serving. Don’t add it to the shells too soon or they won’t be as crispy…I usually wait until an hour or two before.
Can you freeze cheesecake?
Yes, there are plenty of times where I’ll make the cheesecake mix ahead of time and freeze it until just before I need it. This is super helpful when I’m planning a party and I want to get as much done as possible ahead of time. Just take it out about an hour or so before you’ll need it and it should be thawed by the time you’re ready to use it.
How do you freeze cheesecake?
You can freeze the cheesecake mixture for later, just not in the shells (otherwise they won’t be crisp when you serve them). Put the cheesecake in a freezer bag and squeeze all the air out before sealing. For an extra layer of protection, place the freezer bag in an airtight container.
How long does cheesecake last?
Cheesecake will stay good in the freezer for up to a month, if wrapped correctly and stored in an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
How long can these sit out?
Cheesecake shouldn’t sit out for more than about two hours (but don’t worry…these will be gone WAY before then!)
These no-bake cheesecake bites are such easy party desserts to make that they’ve become my go to desserts. Plus, there are so many easy ways to change them up…add a little chocolate, caramel, sprinkles or even edible chocolate chip cookie dough. The possibilities are endless! What creative spin would you put on these?

Bite size sweets are the best. These look so easy that I can’t wait to do this with my kids!
Oh… these look so good! I love that it’s no-bake– so easy! These look perfect for Memorial Day or 4th of July cookout!
They are! I actually made them for a Memorial Day party last year and they were a big hit!
These look so good! I love no-bake desserts!
Me too! They make it so easy and you can whip them up in a hurry!
These look so good! I don’t have those yummy shells or NILLA wafers on-hand but I do have blueberry Belvita cookies. That sounds like a good substitute, right? Plus Belvita boasts energy-packed whole grains so between that, and the fact that they’re no-bake, that’s got to be a win-win. Thanks for the recipe, Lisa! I can’t wait a year to try these so Happy (early) July Fourth (in August)! Hehe. Yum!!! 🙂
That’s a great idea! You can always improvise with whatever you have on hand! 🙂
I love “bites” when it comes to dessert. What a great balance of sweetness and savory.
Me too! Bite size desserts are so fun to make (and eat too!)
These are fantastic! What a delicious no-bake recipe. Loved them!
I’m so glad you liked them! This is one of my favorite recipes too!
What a cute and easy dessert, perfect for last minute parties!
Thanks! It’s been my go-to dessert for awhile now! 🙂
How long can these stay out? How do they hold up?
Hi Emily,
They get eaten so fast that I’ve never found out for sure but I know that they can stay out for at least a few hours and they hold up well 🙂
These were one of the most popular desserts at our party. So easy to make, too!
So glad everyone liked them! They disappear fast at our parties too!
Can I use cool whip instead of making fresh whipped cream?
That’s a great question! I’ve never actually used Cool Whip for one of these recipes but I would think it would work just fine. Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
I love no bake dessert recipes and adding those berries makes it perfect for summer!
We love berries in the summer too and they’re so perfect for no-bake desserts 🙂
What a handy tip…I’ll be sure to pick up some filo shells up. You never know when that cheesecake crave will strike!
They are too cute! And I love that they don’t need to be baked.
Gorgeous recipe!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much! No bake recipes are my favorite!
These are just adorable, and I love how easy they are to pull together last minute. I always have filo shells on hand in the freezer as well so just perfect!
Thanks! They are my favorite go-to last minute recipe!
These were a big hit over the 4th of July. They were so good.
I’m so glad you liked them! They’re always a big hit when I serve them too 🙂
These are so delicious and easy to make too!
Thanks so much! It’s one of my favorite recipes!
These look yummy! Can these be prepared a day or two before?
YES…that’s one of my favorite things about this recipe! You can prepare the cheesecake mixture in advance, put it in the piping bag and cover the end with plastic wrap. When you’re ready to serve, just pipe it into the shells. Just don’t put it in the shells a day or two in advance because they will get soggy. You can even freeze the cheesecake and unfreeze when you’re ready to use it 🙂
If you were to freeze does it need to be done in a container and then stirred before piping, or can you freeze and thaw all in the bag?
Hi Beth,
I froze it right in the piping bag. I just had more than I needed so I popped it in the freezer and it was fine when I thawed it a few weeks later 🙂
If I wanted to bake these, how long would I do it?
Hi Michele,
The beauty of these is that they’re no-bake…makes it easy! 🙂
Hello! I just tried these and they taste amazing! Do you have any tips on how to get the filling more stabilized? Mine didn’t hold up too well.
If you measured the ingredients exactly and they were still not stabilized, try refrigerating the cheesecake mixture for awhile before piping it into the shells. Also, if you bake the shells, make sure they’re cool before you add the cheesecake 🙂
