Description

Delight in these No Bake Turtle Mini Cheesecakes, combining a sweet graham cracker crust with a creamy cheesecake filling, topped with luscious caramel and chocolate sauces and crunchy pecans. Perfectly portioned and easy to make, these mini treats capture the classic turtle flavors without the need for baking.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup chocolate sauce
  • Chopped pecans, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well blended. Press the mixture firmly into the bottoms of mini cheesecake cups or a muffin tin lined with paper liners to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in whipped topping to keep the filling light and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecakes: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts in each cup. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 2 hours to allow them to set properly.
  4. Add Toppings: Before serving, drizzle each mini cheesecake with caramel sauce and chocolate sauce. Finish by sprinkling chopped pecans on top for added crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Avoid overmixing the filling once the whipped topping is folded in to maintain a light texture.
  • Do not skip the chilling step as it is crucial for the cheesecakes to set firmly.
