Mini Cheesecake Ingredients

These mini cheesecakes come together with a handful of simple, easy-to-find ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to make the crust, filling, and raspberry sauce. Best of all, there is no need to turn on the oven because these are no-bake.

The Crust

  • Graham Cracker Crumbs: Base for the mini cheesecake crusts.
  • Sugar: Adds sweetness to the crust.
  • Unsalted Butter: Binds the crumbs together and adds richness.

Mini Cheesecake Filling

  • Heavy Cream: Whipped to add lightness to the filling.
  • Cream Cheese: Creates a creamy, tangy cheesecake base.
  • Crème Fraîche: Adds richness and a slight tang.
  • Confectioners’ Sugar: Sweetens the filling.

Raspberry Topping

  • Cornstarch: Thickens the raspberry sauce.
  • Sugar: Sweetens the raspberry sauce.
  • Water: Combines with cornstarch to make a smooth sauce.
  • Frozen Raspberries: Main flavor for the sauce.
  • Fresh Raspberries: Garnish for serving.

Why Crème Fraîche?

This recipe uses crème fraîche, which adds a smooth, velvety texture and elevates the flavor compared to a standard cream cheese cheesecake batter. You can usually find it at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, or larger grocery stores.

Banana Cream Pie Cookies – Crumbl Copycat

Banana cream pie cookies are sweet and creamy with a graham cracker crust inspired cookie base and an easy banana cream filling. Now you can make this Crumbl cookie copycat in the comfort of your own kitchen!

Once upon a time I decided to make a peach crisp cookie which was like a peach crisp and a peach cobbler all in one. Then I figured an apple crisp cookie had to come next. It was divine!

So naturally I had to dabble into the cream pie-inspired cookies, and the key lime pie cookie was born and the pumpkin pie cookie quickly followed. And with each new cookie, someone would tell me that Crumbl had the same cookie. Ha! Blast those Crumbl people!

So I guess you can call these Crumbl cookie copycat recipes, but these recipes have really just been my imagination running wild. What kind of cookie should I try to make next that Crumbl hasn’t already made?! Is there anything? I know they have a banana cream pie cookie already, but ours is better! 🤫

Ingredients for Banana Cream Pie Cookies

The ingredients for this banana cookie recipe is divided into two components. First, you have the banana cream pudding and then you have the cookie base. Here is what you will need for both parts:

Banana Cream Pie Filling

  • Bananas: You want them slightly ripe, bright yellow with just a few brown spots on the peels to add real banana flavor.
  • Whole Milk: Combines with the pudding powder to make the creamy filling.
  • Instant French Vanilla Pudding Mix: Make sure it is the instant pudding mix and NOT the cook and serve kind.
  • Cream Cheese: adds richness and creaminess
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: adds more sweetness and creaminess
  • Cool Whip: You can use regular whipped cream but Cool Whip holds its thickness and structure better.

Cookie Base

  • Unsalted Butter: make sure it is softened but not melting at all
  • Cream Cheese: need to be softened so it will integrate into the cookie dough smoothly
  • Brown Sugar: adds rich flavor and sweetness
  • White Sugar: adds sweetness
  • Vanilla Extract: adds flavor
  • Eggs: adds structure to the cookie base
  • Almond Extract: totally optional, but I love the flavor it adds
  • Flour: just regular all-purpose flour
  • Cornstarch: adds chewiness to the cookies
  • Baking Powder and Baking Soda: adds fluffiness and rise to the cookies
  • Salt

Easy to Make Blackberry Lime Bars

Easy to Make Blackberry Lime Bars

These blackberry lime bars are creamy, bright, and super delicious. A little lime juice, a handful of blackberries, a simple graham cracker crust, a few easy steps, and you have sweet, tangy bars that everyone will enjoy.

I learned long ago that women love chocolate and men love berry desserts… supposedly. Things like, Berries and Cream Cheesecake Bars, Razzleberry Pie, or Deep Fried Strawberry Cheesecakes. But that is so not the case with my husband and I.

I definitely prefer all things berry and he is all about the chocolate. Well, unless it’s his favorite Lime Pie Brazil. Which is where this recipe came from. His lime pie recipe that he learned while living in Brazil is made with a cracker crumb crust, sweetened condensed milk, media crema, eggs and lime juice of course.

One day we were trying to decide on dessert and he voted for his pie, but I was in the mood for blackberries. The juicy blackberries were making the filling too soupy when baked, so we took the crema out and it turned out perfect. It totally reminds me of our lemon raspberry bars.

There’s just something about a fresh fruit dessert that makes me feel so light and wonderful. I mean, really. Even if it’s a long and nasty winter I’ll bust out these blackberry lime bars and suddenly winter doesn’t seem so bad.

Oregon Berries

Last summer we had the chance to go to Portland to visit Oregon Berries and it was incredible! The taste of those fresh ripe berries were unlike anything you can buy at the store here. When we buy local we ensure quality and secure the livelihoods of families who are making our country a place of variety and success. Cade and I committed right there to check where our berries are coming from and only buy local.

The blackberries we tasted there made me think of these blackberry lime bars and I just knew I had to reshoot this recipe. So here you go!
