You need just 6 ingredients and 10 minutes to make this luscious healthy Mini No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake made with yogurt and cream cheese! It is a quick dessert recipe that is fun for kids to make so put them in charge this Thanksgiving and let them make this easy holiday treat!
I don’t know about you but our holidays are in full swing. And with the little guy due right around Christmas I’m definitely feeling a little worn out.
I’m figuring out ways to simplify things this holidays and this pie is one of them. I’m signed up to bring desserts to like 5 different parties so I needed to come up with something I could make quickly and with basically no effort.
They aren’t super rich so feel free to have two- the hubby and I both did. And these are really easy to make with the kids and have as an after school snack!
We’ve tried lots of different variations of these, my absolute favorite was the Coconut Cheesecakes but we also made strawberry, blueberry, and banana versions and set them up as an American flag cheesecake centerpiece for Fourth of July.
Ingredients you need:
- Dannon® Light & Fit® Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt®
- Cream cheese
- Mini graham cracker crusts
- Whipped cream
- Macadamia nuts
- White chocolate chips
Substitutions:
The main component of these Mini No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecakes are just 2 ingredients! What?! Isn’t that awesome? No spices needed because the yogurt was flavorful enough on their own which made this pregnant mama happy!
Do you absolutely need the macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips? No, but they add a great flavor and texture addition to the cheesecakes.
You could keep it simple with just the whipped cream or you could swap out the macadamia nuts for pecans or crushed ginger snaps.
How to make this:
- Beat cream cheese with a stand or hand mixer for 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
- Add all 4 yogurts and beat until well combined about 2 minutes, scraping bowl once or twice. Pour or scoop mixture into mini crusts. I used an ice cream scoop to measure them out evenly. Smooth with the back of a spoon.
- Chill until ready to serve.
- To serve, dollop with Reddi-Whip topping and top with 1/2 Tbsp each chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips. Serve immediately.
- Store any leftovers in a air-tight container for up to 3 days.
Top Tips
Top with the whipped cream right before serving because the Reddi-Whip deflates and becomes runny as it sits.
The longer these sit in the fridge, the more moisture sinks into the crust. If you want a crisp crust for serving, make the filling separately and keep in an air tight container and fill the cheesecakes right before serving.

Top tips for cooking with kids
Most important: whenever using a cooking appliance with kids make sure all attachments are on before plugging it in.
Make it fun: set up different topping options and let kids choose what they top their mini cheesecakes with.
