Creamy Cherry Cheesecake Bites with a 4th of July Festive Twist

These Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Bites are one of my go-to treats when I want something easy, festive, and delicious. They start with a buttery graham cracker crust, then come the creamy layers of white and blue cheesecake-inspired filling, and finally that perfect spoonful of cherry pie topping.

They’re simple to make, fun to assemble, and always a hit at gatherings. I love how they look just as good as they taste, and there’s no baking involved—which is a major win!

Whether you’re prepping for a July 4th picnic (they transport well!) or just craving a sweet, colorful treat, these bites bring the flavor and the fun with minimal fuss.

Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Bites are the perfect patriotic treat for summer celebrations. These creamy no-bake bites sit on a graham cracker crust and are topped with cherry pie filling for a festive finish.

• Total Time: 2 hours and 20 minutes
• Yield: 12

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup butter, melted

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 oz packet unflavored gelatin

2 tablespoons cold water

1 cup heavy cream

Blue food coloring

1 cup cherry pie filling

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Prepare a muffin pan with liners.
2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl.
3. Divide the crumb mixture between the muffin tin cavities and gently press down with a spoon to form the crust.
4. Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
5. Slowly add the heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture, and beat it in on low speed.
6. Add the gelatin and cold water to a microwave safe bowl and heat for 10 seconds or so until you have a clear liquid. Give it a good stir, then add the warm gelatin mixture to the bowl of cheesecake filling, and stir until well combined.
7. Divide the mixture between 2 bowls and add blue food coloring to one bowl. Stir until a solid color has formed. Add each color to a separate piping bag.
8. Pipe blue on top of the graham cracker crusts, then gently spread from the inside out with a small spoon. The mixture will be thick, so spreading is necessary.
9. Repeat with the white layer, making sure to flatten the top as best you can.
10. Put the muffin tin in the freezer for 2 hours to allow the cheesecakes to set.
11. Unmold, (unwrap if desired), then top with cherry pie filling once ready to serve.
