How to Make No-Bake Christmas Mini Cheesecakes Step by Step

Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and light.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling onto the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set.
- Before serving, decorate with red and green sprinkles and optionally crushed candy canes for a festive touch.
