    My wine of choice will always be something sparkling. I often go for prosecco because I love that it's light and crisp, and not too dry or too sweet. That makes it such a perfect simple flavor to bake with and these easy homemade No-Bake Prosecco Cheesecakes are the perfect example.

    This no-bake prosecco cheesecake recipe is perfect for any celebration or holiday, especially Christmas and New Year's Eve. If you're popping a bottle of bubbly, you'll also love Strawberries & Champagne Marshmallows or Strawberries & Champagne Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting.

    Why this recipe works

    You don't need a special occasion to enjoy champagne or prosecco. The light crispness of the wine perfectly balances with the richness of the cream cheese and the sweetness of the cheesecake.

    Ingredients and notes

    Ingredients needed for no-bake prosecco cheesecakes.

    Melted Butter - Melted butter holds the cookie crumbs together to form the crumb crust for these mini cheesecakes.

    Vanilla Melts - Candy melts give structure to the homemade cheesecake filling. They're melted down and mixed into the liquid filling ingredients, and then as they cool they help the filling hold it's shape.

    Cream Cheese - Cream cheese gives cheesecake both texture and flavor, making this a rich and delicious treat.

    Substitutions

    Vanilla Wafers - Any cookie with a subtle flavor works great for this easy recipe. Flavored cookies will overpower the flavor of the prosecco, but Golden Oreos, shortbread cookies, or even basic graham crackers will work.

    Vanilla Melts - White chocolate will work in place of vanilla melts in this simple homemade recipe. It will alter the flavor slightly, but will still taste great!

    Prosecco - Any sparkling wine will work great for this no-bake cheesecake recipe. Champagne is a great substitute, or even a sparkling rosè. You could also use sparkling grape juice or another non-alcoholic substitution.

    How to make this recipe

    Recipe FAQs

    Is cheesecake better baked or no-bake?

    Traditional no-bake cheesecake is generally lighter than baked cheesecake, however the super simple process this no-bake recipe uses will result in a slightly denser cheesecake but no water bath is needed which keeps it extra easy!

    How do you get mini cheesecakes out of the tin?

    I highly recommend using paper liners for these homemade mini cheesecakes. It's so easy to pinch the edge of the paper liner and pull it right out, or slide a fork or butter knife between the paper liner and tin to pull it out.

    If you grease the tin instead of using paper liners, run a knife or narrow spatula around the edge of each cheesecake, they should easily slide out.

    Tips & Tricks

    Tip #1: Instead of freezing the crumb crust, you can bake it for 5-7 minutes at 350° F. Be sure it cools completely before adding the prosecco cheesecake filling.

    Tip #2: When measuring the prosecco, let the bubbles settle. You won't have enough prosecco if you include the bubbles in your measurement.

    Tip #3: The cream cheese will blend in more smoothly if it's room temperature and cut into smaller pieces. Letting the cream cheese sit out while preparing the recipe will let it warm up.

    Storage Tips

    No-bake Prosecco Cheesecakes should be stored in the refrigerator and will last about 3-5 days.

    I started creating my own recipes when I realized that baking blogs usually shared complicated and time-consuming recipes that needed a lot of kitchen equipment and a lot of ingredients. But I knew that baking did not need to be difficult! As much as I love to make these super simple recipes for my friends and family, I also love being able to share them with you!
