Key Ingredients
Just a handful of simple ingredients and store-bought phyllo shells make these no-bake bites a breeze.
- Mini phyllo shells: Found in the frozen foods aisle, these pre-baked cups are the crisp, no-bake base for each bite.
- Cream cheese: Softened so it whips up smooth and creamy, the tangy cheesecake heart of the filling.
- Powdered sugar: Sweetens the cream cheese and keeps the filling silky with no graininess.
- Wild blueberries: Simmered into a thick, jammy sauce, frozen wild blueberries are smaller and more intense than regular ones.
- Vanilla and a little sugar: They round out the cheesecake flavor and sweeten the blueberry sauce.

Variations and Substitutions
Switch up these no bake cheesecake bites with a few easy ideas.
- Swap the fruit: Use strawberries, raspberries, or cherries in place of blueberries, like in our lemon blueberry poke cake.
- Add lemon: Beat a little lemon zest or juice into the filling for a bright, lemony cheesecake flavor.
- Use a graham base: If you cannot find phyllo cups, spoon the filling into mini graham cracker crusts instead.
- Make it lighter: Fold in a little whipped topping for a fluffier, mousse-like filling.
- Top it differently: Finish with fresh berries, a mint leaf, or a drizzle of white chocolate.
How to Make No Bake Cheesecake Bites
- Place the wild blueberries, water, and granulated sugar in a saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until it forms a thick sauce, about 20 minutes, then let it cool.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth, spoon it into a piping bag, and pipe the filling into the mini phyllo shells.
- Spoon a little cooled blueberry sauce on top of each bite, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Soften the cream cheese fully at room temperature so the filling whips up smooth with no lumps.
- Cool the blueberry sauce completely before topping, warm sauce will melt the cream cheese filling.
- Fill the shells just before serving so the phyllo cups stay crisp instead of softening.
- Use a piping bag or a snipped zip-top bag to fill the little cups quickly and neatly.
- Make the components ahead, store the sauce and filling separately and assemble later, just like our Woolworth icebox cake prep.
- Do not overfill, a small mound of filling leaves room for the blueberry topping without spilling over.
Serving Ideas and Suggestions

No Bake Cheesecake Bites FAQs
Pre-baked mini phyllo shells are usually found in the frozen foods aisle near the desserts or pie crusts, often sold by brands like Athens. They come ready to fill, so there is no baking required. If you cannot find them, you can use mini graham cracker crusts or fillable mini tart shells instead.
Yes, but for the crispest results, prepare the components ahead and assemble close to serving. The blueberry sauce and cream cheese filling can both be made a day or two in advance and stored covered in the fridge. Fill the phyllo shells and top them within a couple of hours of serving so the cups stay crisp rather than soft.
Assembled cheesecake bites are best eaten the same day, since the phyllo shells gradually soften from the filling. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, they will keep for up to 2 days, though the shells will lose some crunch. The filling and sauce on their own last 3 to 4 days refrigerated.
Yes, fresh blueberries work well, though wild blueberries are smaller and have a more intense flavor. If using regular fresh or frozen blueberries, simmer them the same way until they break down into a thick sauce, mashing some of the berries to help it thicken. You may need a few extra minutes of cooking.
Yes, because the filling is made with cream cheese, these bites should be kept chilled. Refrigerate them until you are ready to serve, and do not leave them at room temperature for more than about 2 hours. For parties, set the platter over a bed of ice or refresh it from the fridge to keep them cold.
Absolutely. Just spoon the cream cheese filling into a zip-top bag, snip off a small corner, and pipe it into the shells, which gives you the same neat result. You can also use a small spoon to scoop the filling into each cup if you do not mind a more rustic look.

Yes they will
Will phyllo cups get soggy if filled a day before serving?
I would put it on right before serving!
Can the blueberry topping be put on in advance or should I wait to put it on until right before serving? Not sure If it will moisten the phyllo shell if I do it ahead of time? Thanks!
