About This Recipe

These no-bake mini cheesecakes are the ultimate easy dessert—perfect for last-minute gatherings or whenever you need something sweet without the fuss.

They’re beautiful on a dessert table and ideal for spring and summer entertaining: think baby or bridal showers, afternoon tea, Easter, Mother’s Day, or even a light treat for warm-weather dinners.

Switch up the fruit with the seasons—fresh berries, sliced peaches, or even a spoonful of lemon curd all work beautifully.

The phyllo shells are a true shortcut hero. You’ll find them fully baked in the freezer section—no prep required. Just fill, top with fruit, and add a garnish to make them extra pretty.

And if you love a generous bite of creamy filling, go ahead and double the cheesecake mixture!
