Enjoy a healthier and delicious dessert with these easy Peaches & Cream Cheesecake Cups! Whether you're watching your calories or need a convenient sweet treat to bring to your next picnic or barbecue, these little cheesecake cups are the perfect option.
As we head into summer, I am always looking for great no bake recipes that do not take a lot of time to prepare. The windows in our house do not really get any good airflow.
So when it is over 85 degrees in my kitchen, I do not want to spend too much time in the kitchen during the day. Although my air conditioner gets plenty of work during the summer months because I can't stay away from baking for too long.
I made these No Bake Strawberry Cheesecakes about a year and a half ago, and we loved them. I finally got around to making a new version and remembered right away why I loved them so much. You just might be seeing more variations of these throughout the summer.
All you need is a blender to whip these bad boys up. Don't you love when a recipe doesn't dirty the whole kitchen? Ok, I did use 2 other small bowls too. But seriously, the blender is all you will need to make the cheesecake. Drop everything in and pulse a few times, and you will have instant cheesecake. Well, it will be cheesecake after you refrigerate it for a few hours.
I love making these up right before bed time and putting them in the refrigerator. They are ready to be eaten first thing in the morning...if that's how you roll. They are made with fruit, cottage cheese, and yogurt, so I think these totally equal breakfast food. Hey, it's better than eating some of this PB Snickers Cheesecake Pie for breakfast, right?

Ok I tried the Strawberry ones this weekend but I think I did something wrong. The gelatin kind of made tiny little gelatin balls in the mix. Did I set it aside for too long?
Jocelyn Brubaker
The gelatin should still be liquid when you add it to the blender. Was your water boiling when you added the gelatin? It should dissolve instantly. Did the cheesecake set up after you made it?
Chele
Water was warm not boiling..no jello was already kind of setting up when I added it. Not liquid. Yes it did still set up well.
