Directions for Mini No-Bake Kit Kat Cheesecakes

Let’s create these irresistible Mini No-Bake Kit Kat Cheesecakes!

Make the Crust

I crush 2 cups Kit Kat bars into fine crumbs using a food processor or zip-top bag and rolling pin.
I mix with ¼ cup melted butter until combined, then divide evenly into 12 cupcake liners or mini cheesecake molds, pressing firmly to form the crust.
I refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.

Prepare Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, I beat 8 oz softened cream cheese, ¾ cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, I whip 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. I stir in ½ cup chopped Kit Kat pieces for extra crunch.

Assemble Cheesecakes

I spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula for a polished look.

Chill and Set

I cover and refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight, until firm and set.

Top and Serve

I garnish with ½ cup Kit Kat pieces, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. I serve chilled, straight from the fridge.
