This Mini Cheesecakes with Kiwi Topping comes together in about 30 minutes and is a no-bake recipe for a quick and easy dessert that your family will love! Trust me, these cheesecakes are crowd-pleasers that are sure to put a smile on everyone’s face!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Creamy Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Kiwi Topping
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
These Mini Cheesecakes are as versatile as they are delicious! You can easily substitute the graham cracker crumbs with crushed Oreos for a fun twist or switch out the kiwi for whatever fresh fruit you have in your fridge. The possibilities are endless!
Let’s Get Cooking!
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined, oh, the smell of buttery goodness!
- Press the mixture into the bottom of individual cheesecake molds or muffin tins. I like to use a sturdy glass to really pack it down, creating a nice, firm base.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until you achieve a creamy consistency.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. You want everything to be nicely blended and fluffy.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crusts in the molds. It’s okay if it spills over a bit, more creamy goodness!
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the centers are set and look just right, not too wobbly!
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely. Patience, my friend; let them cool all the way down!
- Once cooled, top each cheesecake with the sliced kiwi and toss in some decorative slices for that extra flair.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps them set nicely and allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Serving and Storage Tips
When serving these little delights, consider adding a sprig of mint for a pop of color! It complements the kiwi nicely and takes things up a notch. Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes in an airtight container, and they should keep well for up to a week. I wouldn’t advise freezing them, as the texture can change once thawed.
Best part? If you have leftovers (which is rare but can happen!), just let them sit in the fridge for a quick pick-me-up throughout the week. There’s nothing quite like diving into a creamy cheesecake after a long day!
