Variations and Substitutes
- Crust alternatives: Swap out graham crackers for digestive biscuits or even chocolate cookies for a different flavor profile.
- Make it lighter: For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of some of the cream cheese, or replace the whipped cream with a whipped topping.
- Berry twist: Add fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries either as a topping or mixed into the cheesecake filling for an added burst of flavor and color.
- Lemon-lime combo: Try mixing lemon and lime juice for a zesty citrus blend that gives the dessert an extra kick.
FAQs About No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake Cups
