These unicorn cheesecakes might just be the most adorable bite size desserts ever! The best part is that since they’re no bake cheesecakes, they’re super easy and as much fun to make as they are to eat!

I am all about the bite size desserts, especially when cheesecake is involved. From no bake cheesecake bites to Oreo cheesecake, I can’t get enough! They’re perfect for all occasions, from party food to just a fun dessert to make with the kids.

This time I started out making no bake cheesecakes with a rainbow theme but then I got a little carried away. Once I saw the colored layers, it was just screaming to be turned into a unicorn cheesecake! I’ve made plenty of unicorn inspired crafts, like unicorn Easter eggs and an adorable unicorn pumpkin, but this was my first time making edible unicorns.

Unicorn Cheesecakes

Not only did these turn out super cute but they were so easy! Grab the kids and let them help…they’re going to have SO much fun with this!

Start by making the graham cracker crust. You’ll only need three ingredients, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter.

Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter well.

Mixing ingredients for graham cracker crust

Spoon crust into each of the cheesecake compartments and press until firm. I used one of the removable bottoms from cheesecake pan but you can also use the bottom of a shot glass or even your fingers.

Just make sure the crust is firm so it’ll stay together when you take the cheesecakes out of the pan. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla and mix well with a stand or hand mixer. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture.

Divide cheesecake equally into four bowls and stir food coloring into each.

Mix until you get the colors just how you want them. I had to add to the yellow a couple times to get a brighter shade.

For these unicorns, I stacked the layers on top of each other. I started by adding pink to each mini cheesecake mold, then topping with green, yellow and blue.

Another alternative is to swirl the colors instead. Just be sure not to “overswirl” (if that’s even a real word) because if the colors blend together too much, they’ll start to look a little brown. If you’re making these with younger kids, this way may be easier for them.

When the layers are finished, place the cheesecake pan in the freezer for about an hour, or until the cheesecake is frozen. I’ve found that doing this makes it much easier to remove the cheesecake from the pans.

Decorating Your Unicorn Cakes

After removing the cheesecakes, use black decorating gel to make the unicorn eyes. You can make them using the tube, or for thinner lines, put some of the gel in a sandwich bag and cut off a small corner.

I found it helpful to practice one or two eyes before applying the gel to the cheesecake because it took me a couple tries to get it just right. I started with the tube but found I liked the thinner lines from the icing bag better.

After making the unicorn eyes, place a Bugle in the center of each cheesecake. Finally, add 6-8 candy flowers, starting at the top and cascading down the side. That’s all there is to it! How adorable are these?
