Let’s be real — traditional cheesecake is delicious, but it’s also a whole thing to make… and not exactly easy on digestion.

That’s why I love these Mini Berry Cheesecake Cups.

They’re no-bake, made with wholesome ingredients, and just the right size when you want something creamy and indulgent—without the sugar crash. The crust is made from almonds and dates, the filling is light and tangy with Greek yogurt or cream cheese, and the topping? Fresh juicy berries.

Perfect for summer parties, kid-friendly, and totally make-ahead.

 

๐Ÿ“ Ingredients You’ll Need

For the crust:

  • 1 cup almonds or walnuts

  • ½ cup pitted dates

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

  • Pinch of sea salt

For the filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese or dairy-free alternative, softened

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt

  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Zest of 1 lemon

For the topping:

  • 1 cup fresh mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)

  • Optional: drizzle of honey or sprinkle of granola

 

๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿณ How to Make It

  1. Make the crust:
    Blend nuts, dates, coconut oil, and salt in a food processor until crumbly and sticky. Press into the bottom of 8 small jars or silicone muffin cups.

  2. Make the filling:
    Beat softened cream cheese, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth and fluffy.

  3. Assemble:
    Spoon the filling over the crust and smooth the tops. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight).

  4. Top and serve:
    Before serving, add a handful of fresh berries and a drizzle of honey if desired.

 

๐Ÿ’ก Sarah’s Tips

  • Make it dairy-free: Use a plant-based cream cheese and coconut yogurt.

  • Want a firmer texture? Pop them in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving.

  • Meal prep tip: These last 3–4 days in the fridge and are great for grab-and-go treats.

  • For parties: Serve in mini jars or shot glasses with tiny spoons!
