Description

This easy dessert can be whipped up in no time, whether you’re prepping a treat for after family dinner or need something for hosting a party. Prep a quick graham cracker crust, add a creamy ricotta filling, and top these little cheesecakes with flavorful spiced SugarBee® Apples. The best part? They’re entirely no-bake!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 2 cups (14 sheets) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar

For the Topping:

  • 1 SugarBee® Apple, diced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Oats and chopped pecans, for optional garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are moistened.
  2. Line a cupcake pan with paper liners. Add 3 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture to each cupcake well and use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press the mixture into the well. Freeze the crusts for 15 minutes while you make the filling.
  3. Beat together all ingredients for the filling until smooth.
  4. Divide the filling amongst the crusts and smooth the top with a spoon. Freeze for 30 minutes or chill in the fridge for at least two hours to set.
  5. While chilling, make the topping. Combine diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and then simmer on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until the apples are lightly tender. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  6. Remove the cheesecakes from the freezer or fridge and top with the apples. Garnish with oats and chopped pecans before serving, if desired.
