How To Make A Fluffy Easter No-Bake Mini Cheesecake

Step 1: Copper Mats Preparation

Measure the copper mats, and cut them into 3-inch-high strips. Fold the strips to meet ends, until you have about 3 inches, in diameter. 

Cut the strip where needed, and leave enough extra to tape the ends of the strip together. Tape the ends of the strip with duct tape, and make sure it is secured along the edges.

Note: The copper mats used to form the circles will not stick to the cheesecakes. They are copper grill mats, but we found them to be a good tool for mini cheesecakes. If you have Pastry molds or stainless steel plating rings, you can use those instead. When you cut the copper mats to form the circles, or rings to form the cheesecakes, you may have pieces that you’ll need to tape together to make another circle. 

Step 2: Prep the Crust

Place the copper circles on a piece of parchment paper, on a cookie sheet. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together in a separate bowl, and place an equal amount in each copper circle.

Tap the crumbs down with the end of a wooden spoon, until they are all even and compact in the bottom of the copper circle. Place in the freezer.

Step 3: Cheesecake Mix

In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl, and mix again.

Add the vanilla, and lemon juice, and mix. In a separate bowl, add half of the 3-ounce package of instant cheesecake flavored pudding, and 1/2 a cup of half and half, and mix with a whisk until the pudding is smooth, and no longer grainy. 

Add the additional 2 Tablespoons as needed, to make the pudding smooth. When the pudding is smooth and thick, add it to the mixing bowl, and blend until completely smooth with the cream cheese. 

Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, and blend well after each addition. Scrape down the mixing bowl, and blend again.

Step 4: Divide and Color

Divide the cheesecake batter evenly between 4 small bowls. In one bowl, add a drop of Aqua food coloring gel, and stir.

In the next bowl, add a drop of pink food coloring gel, and stir.

In the next bowl, add a drop of Neon lime green food coloring gel, and stir – you may need to add another drop of the lime green.

In the last bowl, add a drop of purple food coloring gel, and stir. Depending on what brand of food coloring gel you use, you may need to add a little more or less than one full drop to achieve the pastel color desired.

Step 5: Assemble Time

Remove the graham cracker crumbs from the freezer, add an equal amount of the Aqua-colored cheesecake on top of the graham cracker crumbs, and place back in the freezer. 

Wait 30 minutes, take the cheesecakes out of the freezer, and add an equal amount of Pink cheesecake on top of the Aqua. 

Place the cheesecakes back in the freezer for 30 minutes, and then take them out and add an equal amount of the lime green cheesecake on top of the Pink. 

Place the cheesecakes back in the freezer, and after 30 minutes, remove them, and add the Purple cheesecake on top of the lime green cheesecake in equal amounts.

Smooth the tops, and place back in the freezer until time to serve. 

When ready to serve, remove the tape from the copper circles, and remove the copper circles from the cheesecakes, leaving the cheesecakes on the parchment-lined cookie sheet.  

Add a swirl of frosting on top of the cheesecakes, and sprinkle with the Easter Nonpareils. Place three of the mini eggs on the frosting. 

Serve and enjoy! This makes 6 3-inch mini cheesecakes.

NOTE: If you want to remove the copper circles, and decorate the cheesecakes ahead of time, simply place them back in the freezer until time to serve. When adding the different colors of cheesecake to the copper circles, smooth the cheesecake batter out as much as possible to the edge of the circle, all the way around, so that you have smooth layers when the copper circles are removed.  

What to Serve/Pair with Your Easter No-Bake Mini Cheesecake

Main Dish

With the same care, choose your entrée. Your guests will not be in the mood for cheesecake after a lunch that is heavy on cream and butter.

Consider white fish, chicken breast, or grilled meats instead of salmon or pulled pork, and relatively plain herbed rice and vegetables instead of rich casseroles or scalloped potatoes.

Appetizers

Avoid using equally rich components in your appetizers if your meal will culminate with a cheesecake. If you’re hosting a party, opt for lighter options like marinated veggies instead of heavy or cheesy canapes.

Simple vinaigrettes, rather than thick ranch or blue cheese dressings, should be used to make salads that are light, crisp, and green.

Soups that are light and brothy rather than creamy or heavy are a good way to start the night.

Drinks

A slice of rich, decadent cheesecake goes perfectly with a cup of strong coffee or tea, creating the ideal moment of self-indulgence.

Easter No-Bake Mini Cheesecake FAQs

Can I store a warm cheesecake in the refrigerator?

No, Warm cheesecake should not be refrigerated immediately. As the inside temperature of the refrigerator rises, placing the hot cheesecake in the fridge will be more harmful to the refrigerator than to the cake.

It’s best to let the cheesecake cool completely before putting it in the fridge.

Is a watery cheesecake filling, okay?

No. One common issue with cheesecakes is that the cream cheese used adds too much moisture to the cake, causing it to become runny.

If you don’t add anything to help offset the cream cheese’s water content, the cake’s texture will most likely be off.

Can cheesecake quickly chill?

Yes. Use a small fan to blow horizontally over the cheesecake in the refrigerator (covered of course). As a result, the cool air will draw the heat away from the cheesecake.

It should reduce the cooling time by 30-40%, or about 4 hours on a 12-hour chill time.

Is it safe to put a cheesecake in the freezer to set?

No. It may be tempting to remove your cheesecake from the oven and immediately place it in the freezer to save a few steps.

It will not, however, set, and the consistency will be off. Allow your cheesecake to cool at room temperature after baking.

Then put it in the fridge until it’s set.
