Jump to RecipeCostco Cheesecake Bites Recipe Ingredients
- ⅓ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional but recommended)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2-4 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Fresh berries, for topping (optional)
How To Make Costco Cheesecake Bites
- Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and optional sugar until the mixture is evenly moistened.
- Press the Crust: Divide the crumb mixture among the cups of a mini muffin pan lined with paper liners. Use about 1 teaspoon for each and press it down to form a firm base.
- Mix the Filling: In a separate medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Cups: Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cheesecake filling into each cup on top of the graham cracker crust.
- Top and Chill: Top each bite with fresh berries, if you are using them. Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours or in the refrigerator for about 6 hours to allow the bites to set completely.
- Serve: Serve the cheesecake bites very cold, directly from the refrigerator or freezer.
Recipe Tips
- How do I get the bites out of the pan easily? Using mini cupcake liners in the muffin pan is the easiest way. Once the bites are firm, they will peel away from the paper cleanly.
- Can I make these sweeter? Yes. The recipe calls for 2-4 tablespoons of honey, so you can adjust within that range. For an even sweeter filling, you can also whisk in 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
- Why won’t my cheesecake bites set properly? These no-bake bites need to be thoroughly chilled to firm up. If they seem too soft, they just need more time in the refrigerator or freezer. Ensure you give them the full chilling time.
- Can I use a different kind of crust? Absolutely. You can make the crust with finely crushed vanilla wafers, digestive biscuits, or even chocolate sandwich cookies for a different flavor.
What To Serve With Cheesecake Bites
These little bites are a perfect dessert on their own, but they are also a great addition to a dessert platter with:
- A variety of fresh berries
- A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce
- A dollop of whipped cream
- A cup of coffee or tea
How To Store Cheesecake Bites
Store: Place the cheesecake bites in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper if needed. They must be stored in the refrigerator and will keep for up to 5 days.
