two no-bake peach cheesecake cups served with fresh peaches and pistachios

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.

They’re perfect for warm days when you want an easy dessert without turning on the oven. Serve them after dinner, for brunch, or whenever you’re craving something sweet and refreshing.

How to Make No-Bake Peach Cheesecake Cups

First, crush the butter cookies into fine crumbs.

Next, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated.

Divide the mixture between serving glasses and gently press it into the bottom to create the crust.

Meanwhile, whisk together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.

Cut one peach into small cubes. Slice the second peach and set it aside for decorating.

Spoon a layer of cheesecake cream over the cookie base.

Next, add a layer of diced peaches.

Cover the peaches with another layer of cheesecake cream and smooth the top.

Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 1 hour.

Before serving, decorate with sliced peaches, chopped pistachios, and fresh mint.

If preparing them ahead, lightly toss the peach slices with a little lemon juice to help prevent browning.

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.
