These no-bake peach cheesecake cups are one of my favorite summer desserts. They’re light, creamy, and full of fresh peach flavor, yet they come together in just a few minutes.

The buttery cookie base adds a little crunch, while the cream cheese and Greek yogurt filling is smooth, fresh, and not overly sweet. Juicy peaches make every spoonful taste like summer.

FAQ

Can I make these cheesecake cups ahead of time?

Yes. They’re perfect for making a day in advance and keep well in the refrigerator.

Can I use nectarines instead of peaches?

Absolutely. Nectarines work just as well and have a very similar flavor.

Do I have to use Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt makes the filling lighter and fresher, but you can replace it with more cream cheese for a richer dessert.

Can I freeze them?

Freezing isn’t recommended because the texture of the peaches may change after thawing.

How long do they keep?

Store the cheesecake cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They’re best enjoyed fresh.
