Cheesecake Bites (in sugar cookie cups)
Report
My easy cheesecake bites consist of a simple, no-bake cheesecake nestled in crisp sugar cookie cups. They take just 1 hour to make completely from scratch. Recipe includes a how-to video!

Instructions
Sugar Cookie Cups
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and spray a 24-count mini muffin pan with baking spray (alternatively lightly grease and flour or use mini muffin liners).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy and well-combined.
- Add vanilla extract and egg and stir well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- With mixer on low-speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Scoop dough by level 1 ½ Tablespoon and drop into mini muffin pan (see note). Use the back of a rounded teaspoon (I like to use my ½ Tbsp measuring spoon) and make an indent halfway down into the sugar cookie dough. If dough sticks to spoon, run spoon under cool water first.
- Bake in center rack of 350F (175C) oven for 15 minutes or until edges are just beginning to turn light golden brown.
- Immediately use the back of a (clean) rounded teaspoon (or ½ Tbsp) and re-indent the cookie cups, pressing at least halfway down.
- Allow cookie cups to cool in pan for at least 20 minutes, then to remove, gently twist in the pan and lift out to a cooling rack to cool completely before preparing your cheesecake filling.
Cheesecake Bites Filling
- Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar and stir together until smooth and creamy.
- Add sour cream and vanilla extract, stir well.
- Pour cold cream into a separate bowl (preferably glass or metal) and use an electric mixer to beat on high speed until stiff peaks form (mixture will be thick and fluffy like whipped topping).
- Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture by hand, stirring until completely incorporated and smooth (don’t over-mix).
- Spoon or pipe cheesecake filling into sugar cookie cups. Add fruit topping just before serving. Enjoy!

Notes
- This dough actually makes slightly more than is needed for a 24-count muffin tin. You’ll have enough to make about 27 cheesecake bites. Typically I just discard the extra dough, but you can absolutely bake and fill them instead, just note that if you bake only 3 or so sugar cookie cups at a time you will need less time in the oven.
- These will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results I do not recommend adding any fruit toppings until shortly before serving.
