3. Preparing the Base for the Easy Fruit Cheesecakes

Crush the Digestive Biscuits

Begin by crushing the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs into a bowl. For a gluten-free alternative, consider using gluten-free cookies.

4. Making the Creamy Cheesecake Filling

Whip the Heavy Cream

In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Combine Cream Cheese and Sugar

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. For a professional finish, consider using a KitchenAid stand mixer.

Fold in the Whipped Cream

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light and fluffy filling that will fill your mini cheesecakes. This process ensures a smooth texture and balanced flavor.

5. Assembling the No-Bake Mini Cheesecakes with Caramel Figs and Blackberries

Fill the Crusts

Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each prepared crust, smoothing the tops with a spatula. For precision, a piping bag works great.

Add Fresh and Dried Fruit

Top each mini cheesecake with sliced dried figs and fresh blackberries for a burst of flavor and vibrant color. For extra texture, sprinkle with crushed cookies or nuts if desired.

Drizzle with Caramel Sauce

Finish by drizzling caramel sauce over each cheesecake to enhance the caramel flavor and add a luscious touch. You can also use caramel sauce from our no-bake desserts collection for an authentic taste.

Store the no-bake fig cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These mini cheesecakes are best enjoyed within 2-3 days to retain freshness and optimal flavor.
