No-Bake Peach Cheesecake Cups
Creamy no-bake cheesecake filling layered over a buttery graham cracker crust and topped with fresh, juicy peaches — a stunning summer dessert that comes together in just 10 minutes with zero oven time.
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Peach Topping
- 1 cup fresh peaches diced, from approximately 1 large peach
Optional Toppings
- whipped cream
- extra fresh peach slices
- crushed walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until completely smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
- Peel the peach if desired, then dice into small, even chunks. Set aside for layering.
- Divide the graham cracker crust mixture evenly between 2 small jars or glasses, pressing it gently into the bottom of each. Spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the crust in each jar. Top with the diced peaches. Repeat the layers if the jars are deep enough.
- Finish each cup with a dollop of whipped cream, a few fresh peach slices, and crushed nuts if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 10 minutes for a firmer, colder texture.
Notes
Cream cheese must be fully softened before mixing or the filling will be lumpy rather than smooth.
Ripe peaches make all the difference. Underripe peaches will be firm and tart. If fresh peaches are unavailable, canned peaches work well — drain thoroughly and dice small.
Maple syrup can be substituted 1:1 for honey for a slightly different flavor profile.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add fresh toppings just before serving. Do not freeze — the filling will separate upon thawing.
