No-Bake Mini Banana Cheesecakes
ShareEasy no-bake banana cheesecakes featuring a vanilla cookie crust, fresh whipped cream and a caramel drizzle. A perfect Summer treat!
New England Summers can be hit or miss weather wise. Thankfully this year, the weather has been pretty spectacular, with only a handful of days being cool or overly rainy. That means we’ve been spending plenty of time outside and plenty of time not wanting to turn on the oven. Even growing up, hot days always meant easy quick dinners or desserts that didn’t require turning the oven on and heating up the house.
So what’s a girl to do when she’s craving cheesecake in the middle of Summer? Skip the oven! This egg-free, no-bake cheesecake is where it’s at! I know you probably have a banana sitting on your counter, screaming at you, begging to be used in a totally easy and scrumptious way too!
When I need cream cheese for the perfect dessert, I always grab a package of Original PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese. Flavorful cream cheese, made with local milk and real wholesome cream! And the Original PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese has no preservatives and goes farm to fridge in just six days! It’s a product I absolutely trust serving to my family!

I don’t think I’ve ever had no-bake cheesecake! Gotta try it!
You definitely do! SO easy! :)
This would be a perfect breakfast!
Haha! It certainly could be :)
I can’t get over how cute these little cheesecakes in those glass cups are. These would make the perfect party dessert!
They really would! And thanks :)
Yum! Does the banana need to be super ripe or is a new banana fine to use?
The more ripe it is, the easier it is to mash and get super smooth. But, so long as you’re able to get it smooth, I’d say new-ish would be fine.
Looks good but what is frozen topping ? Is this availeble in belgium ?
I’m guessing it is not. However, you can try using homemade whipped cream in its place. Just be aware that I haven’t tried that method, so I can’t attest to it’s results but the flavor should be similar.
What a fabulous way to have cheesecake without turning on your oven! These look adorable and your photos are just perfect! Pinned!
Thanks Kristine!
Wow! I am so excited to try these! I love Banana Cream Pie, and this looks like it’s equally yummy!
Thanks Kelly!
These look wonderful, can they be made ahead and frozen?
The safest bet would be to chill and not freeze.
