3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making No Bake Mini Cheesecakes

Preparation of Base

Begin by crushing the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can do this easily using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Mix the biscuit crumbs with melted butter until fully combined. This mixture will be the crust for your mini cheesecakes.
Divide the crust mixture evenly among your mini cheesecake molds or silicone cups and press down firmly to create a compact base.

Filling the Cheesecake

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract; continue to mix until well incorporated.
Pour or pipe the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula.

Chilling the Mini Cheesecakes

Place the assembled mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set properly.
