Ingredients

Cream Cheese Filling

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream (or 1 cup of store-bought whipped cream) *Heavy whipping cream is sold in a carton or bottle (similar to milk) and is different than a tub of whipped cream.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened (buy in block form, not the "spread" in the tub)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar

Crust Layer

  • ¾ cup graham cracker OR Oreo crumbs (this is about 12 graham cracker squares or 15 Oreos)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Optional toppings:

  • lemon zest, sliced strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, oreo crumbs, etc.

Before you begin! If you make this, will you do me a huge favor and leave a review and rating letting me know how you liked this recipe? This helps my small business thrive so I can continue providing free recipes and high-quality content for you.

Instructions

  1. Mix graham cracker or Oreo crumbs with melted butter. Evenly disperse the crumb mixture into 4 small cups or 4 cereal-sized bowls (this will be roughly 3 tablespoons of crumbs in each one). Press down until firm and set aside.

  2. (Skip this step if using store-bought whipped cream)

    Using an electric mixer, beat heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form (for me, this is about 1 minute on Level 10 of my Kitchenaid stand mixer). Set aside.

  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy. Mix in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt.

  4. Slowly add powdered sugar and mix until combined.

  5. With a spatula, gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until incorporated and creamy.

  6. Evenly disperse mixture into 4 small cups or 4 cereal-sized bowls (about 1/2 cup in each one). For a cleaner presentation, scoop the filling into a ziploc bag and then "pipe" it in the cup or bowl. Use a spoon or spatula to smooth the top.

  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the filling firm up a little bit, then serve with desired toppings.

    Note that the filling is on the creamier side, it's not as "firm" as a baked cheesecake.

Last Step! Please leave a review and rating letting me know how you liked this recipe! This helps my small business thrive so I can continue providing free recipes and high-quality content for you.

Recipe Notes

Filling makes about 2 cups total, which will yield 4 individual cups or 4 shallow cereal-sized bowls (each with 1/2 cup filling and about 3 T crust).
