It’s that time of year when we really start thinking a lot about desserts. Sure we indulge in desserts from time to time during the rest of the year, but with the holidays coming up, what kind of desserts we want to make becomes something we think non-stop about. Especially desserts that contain pumpkin. Let’s face it, we are all a little pumpkin crazed right now, and that’s OK! For those of you, like my husband and son, who love anything and everything pumpkin flavored, this recipe for no-bake mini pumpkin cheesecakes are right up your ally! And the best part is, they are super easy to make. Your kids could make them!
Utilizing mini pie crusts, Reddi-wip®, Dannon® Light & Fit® Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt®, and a few other ingredients, you can have a delicious dessert made in minutes! Making a quick stop at my local Walmart, I was able to pick up everything I need, get home, and make these delicious no-bake mini pumpkin cheesecakes very quickly!
No-Bake Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes
Ingredients
- 3 Dannon® Light & Fit® Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt® containers
- 8-oz Cream Cheese, softened
- Mini pie shells
- Reddi-wip®
- Walnuts, chopped
- Dried Cranberries
- Crumbled Toffee Bars
Directions
- Open your mini pie shells and set them on a small cutting board or baking sheet.
- After allowing your cream cheese to soften a bit, put both the cream cheese and the Dannon® Light & Fit® Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt® in a mixing bowl and beat with your mixer until it is completely incorporated.
- Quickly fill your mini pie shells with the yogurt and cream cheese mixture.
- At this point, you have a choice to make…add your toppings and eat right away or allow them to chill in the fridge for a few hours. I chose to allow them to chill. I would recommend that, but it’s totally up to you. This dessert is good either way.
- After allowing your dessert to chill for a few hours, add your Reddi-wip® and toppings of your choice. I chose to use dried cranberries, crumbled Toffee bars, and chopped walnuts.
- If you don’t feel like extra toppings, just add your Reddi-wip® and enjoy. Or…you can do my kids favorite and mix and match ALL of the toppings on your mini pumpkin cheesecakes! The choice is yours!
- This recipe makes 7 mini pies. The mini pie shells I bought came in groups of 6. No worries…just put the extra yogurt and cream cheese mixture in a little bowl and enjoy!
What a truly effortless and delicious dessert that are perfect for after school snacks that your kids will have a blast adding their desired toppings to (especially if you let them use the Reddi-wip® themselves)! I also like the idea of making this for your holiday get together. Set it up as a fun dessert bar!

Those look delicious. I bet my kids and I would have a blast making them together. I would add some mini-chocolate chips to the top!
I would add LOTS of chocolate syrup. Mostly because I’m not the biggest pumpkin fan! 😉
You mean you need something more than cool whip? Ummm, I would probably crush some peanuts into fine dust and sprinkle it over the top. These look great. I never would’ve thought of mixing it like that.
I think I would add a bit of shaved dark chocolate. Love the size of these, perfect for portion control.
OK, I’ve bookmarked this and I think it’s my new favorite recipe. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my goodness! These look so good and I have to admit, you had me at “no bake.” I seriously hate cooking/baking and this I can handle! It looks like so much work was put into it, but it is actually easy enough for me to make! 🙂 Awesome recipe! Thanks!
These sound so yummy and easy to do! I wish I had the stuff to make them now.
