Cheesecake! You want it. Really really want it and then you think of all the extra workouts eating one slice or half a slice of it will entail and then you either eat it anyway and feel guilty or you don’t eat it and feel deprived of a decadent treat.

The mini No bake Kiwi Cheesecake is indulgent yet the smaller size makes it a smart treat too. These are not sugar free or low fat. These are very much the real deal. The smaller size makes it a perfect dessert if you are having many people over. They are easy to make in advance & spectacular to present.

I added some real kiwi jelly on top, a little bite of fruit within and kept the crust lighter. I wanted to make a dessert that would make me feel deeply satisfied after just a couple of bites. And this one does!

While searching for inspirations on a no bake cheese cake I came across the recipe for a perfect no bake cheesecake . I loved the idea of adding in whipping cream to make it light, hence adapted the recipe to make the mini cheesecakes.

You will need a special pan to make these. Here is what I used : Cheesecake pan
