Classic No-Bake Lemon Berry Cheesecake Cups


With our hectic schedules, it seems like our family is always on the go. Which is why I’m such a huge fan of no-fuss recipes.

Any sweet treat that doesn’t need baked gets my vote. And when it comes to easy, this recipe for classic no-bake lemon berry cheesecake cups takes the cake (pun intended).

Made with a sweet graham cracker crust, fresh berries, and a creamy lemon filling, this cheesecake recipe is the perfect light and airy dessert for spring or summer.

Ingredients For No-Bake Lemon Berry Cheesecake Cups


  • 1 and 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 and 1/2 cups cream cheese, softened (12 ounces)
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 package Jell-O brand lemon instant pudding mix & pie filling (3.4 ounces)
  • Fresh berries to garnish


How To Make Classic No-Bake Lemon Berry Cheesecake Cups


Place your graham crackers in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and use a rolling pin to crush the crackers into fine crumbs. Measure 1 and 1/2 cups of crumbs into a medium glass mixing bowl and set aside.

*Note: 11-12 full sleeves of crackers equals roughly 1 and 1/2 cups of crumbs.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and pour over the graham cracker crumbs. Use a fork to combine the mixture and sprinkle the crumb crust evenly in four 8-ounce dessert cups.

Place the cups in the fridge to allow the crust to chill while preparing the cheesecake filling.

In a medium glass mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and blend in 1/2 cup of milk.

Then add the remaining milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, and instant pudding mix. Stir as directed on the package.

Divide the cheesecake filling evenly between the dessert cups and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm.

When you’re ready to serve, garnish the cheesecake with a spring of mint and fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

And that’s it! Easy-peasy no-bake lemon cheesecake cups with fresh berries.

I think this dessert is best when served fresh, but the cheesecake cups can be made in advance. Follow the directions for the crust and filling as noted. Then keep it chilled in the fridge and wait to top with the fruit until right before you are ready to serve.

Leftover cheesecake can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. Although this recipe is so good I guarantee that leftovers won’t be a problem.

    This is a wonderful lemon cheese cake recipe. I purchase the 6, graham cracker tart shells in a package in the baking supplies aisle in the grocery store. I fill them with the same cheese cake mixture, cover and chill them. Garnish before serving. Saves washing glassware later because those little foil tart shells are just thrown away.
