You’ll need:

  • 15.25-ounce box of Funfetti cake mix
  • 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces of white almond bark (optional coating)
  • Colorful sprinkles (optional topping)

Substitutions And Additions

CAKE MIX: You can use any cake mix in place of the Funfetti flavor. You can even use brownie mix if you’d like.

COATING: You can also roll these little cheesecake bites in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cake mix, graham cracker crumbs, melted milk or white chocolate, crushed Oreo cookies, or colorful sprinkles.

How To Make This No Bake Cheesecake Bites Recipe

STEP ONE: Before adding the cake mix, it is important to heat treat the dry cake mix. Pour the dry cake mix into a medium-sized heat-safe bowl.

Microwave the cake mix in two 30-second increments, stirring after each increment. Allow the cake mix to cool completely before mixing into the cream cheese.

STEP TWO: Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese for 2 to 2½ minutes until completely smooth.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Make sure you are using room-temperature cream cheese so that you don’t end up with lumps in your mini cheesecake bites.

STEP THREE: Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top of the cream cheese. Continue to mix just until the dry cake mix is well incorporated.

STEP FOUR: Tightly cover the cream cheese mixture and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

STEP FIVE: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set it aside.

STEP SIX: Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cheesecake mix. Roll into a ball and set the cheesecake bites on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the steps for the rest of the bites.

PRO TIP:

You can allow the uncoated cheesecake bites to sit overnight in the refrigerator before the next step. The cake mix will expand, and the almond bark may crack if you coat the bites too soon.

STEP SEVEN: Using a heat-safe medium-sized mixing bowl, heat the almond bark in the microwave in 30-second intervals until the almond bark is completely melted and smooth.

PRO TIP:

If you would prefer to use white or milk chocolate to coat the bites, you can melt them the same way in the microwave in place of the almond bark.

STEP EIGHT: Roll the cheesecake bites in the melted almond bark. Place the coated cheesecake bites on the fork and gently tap any excess coating off.

You can also use the spoon to pour the almond bark over any bare spots on the cheesecake bites.

STEP NINE: Return the coated cheesecake bites to the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle ½ to 1 teaspoon of the colorful sprinkles (or other toppings) on top. 

STEP TEN: Once all the cheesecake bites are completely coated and sprinkled, return them to the refrigerator until ready to serve.

How To Serve

Serve your no-bake cheesecakes for friends at a party, or keep them all to yourself. The creamy cheesecake filling is so decadent and delicious that I dare you to stop at just one bite of these little treats! 

These fun treats are the perfect way to tap into your creative side for both the coating and the way you serve them. Of course, on a platter is the easy way to serve them, but how about thinking outside of the box?

Add a couple of little cheesecakes on top of a bowl of ice cream.

Or you could be completely wild and crazy and serve a few in one of our cookie cups and topped with whipped cream or Cool Whip. This would be such a cute treat for a kid’s birthday party.

Storing These No Bake Mini Cheesecakes

IN THE FRIDGE: Keep any leftover no-bake cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze the uncoated cheesecake balls for 2 months in an airtight container or Ziploc plastic bag. Allow the bites to thaw, and coat and sprinkle before serving.

A no-bake dessert is always a winner, and these two-ingredient, no-bake cheesecake bites are no exception. Velvety cream cheese mixed with a fun cake mix flavor make these bites a yummy base for any sweet coating your imagination can dream up.
