Gluten-Free Easter Peeps No-Bake Cheesecake Recipe

Supplies

• Muffin pans
• Cupcake liners – I like using standard white baking cupcake liners for these mini cheesecakes but you can use any color you have on hand.
• Mixing bowls – I use glass mixing bowls so I can see all my ingredients
• Hand beater or stand mixer
• Medium cookie scoop – this comes in handy when distributing the cream cheese filling.
• Rolling pin – for crushing the Oreo cookie crumbs

Ingredients for 12 no-bake mini cheesecakes

To whip up these easy Peeps cheesecake bites, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Gluten-free Oreo cookies or one an alternative
• Melted butter or plant-based butter for the crust and some for melting the Peeps
• Package of 8 Pink Peeps for the gooey marshmallow goodness
• Cream cheese for the rich creamy texture
• Vanilla
• Powdered sugar to sweeten the filling
• Lemon juice to brighten the flavor
• Gluten-free Cool Whip or other whipped topping
• Creme filling from the Oreos
• Pastel-colored candy and sprinkles for topping (gluten-free)

How to make gluten-free Peeps marshmallow cheesecake

1. Remove the creme center from the gluten-free Oreo cookies and set aside. You will need the creme center for the cheesecake filling.

2. Crush the cookie wafers and combine them with 3 tbsp melted butter for the crust. Press it into 12 cupcake liners and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

3. In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, Oreo creme filling, and vanilla until smooth and well combined. Then fold in Cool Whip.

4. Melt the Pink Peeps with 1 tbsp of butter in the microwave for 20-second intervals, stirring each time. When they are combined, quickly fold them into the cheesecake filling.

5. Spoon the filling onto the chilled crusts and smooth the tops.

6. Garnish with pastel-colored Easter candy.

7. Freeze for a few hours or overnight.

8. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving.

I like to make the cheesecake filling smooth and avoid lumps by warming the cream cheese to room temperature before beating it. Also, while it’s possible to beat the cream cheese mixture by hand, I recommend using a hand beater or stand mixer for best results.

Tips & Tricks

• Let the Cool Whip sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before folding it into the cream cheese mixture.
• Melt the Peeps in the microwave immediately before folding them into the cream cheese mixture. It works better if they are slightly warm.
• If the Peeps marshmallow mixture gets too stiff, microwave it for 20 seconds to soften again.
• If your cheesecake crust crumbs are not sticking together, put the paper liners with the crumb mixtures on a plate. Microwave for 20-30 seconds and press again.
• Prevent sticking by using paper cupcake liners in the muffin tin. This also makes it easier to get the no-bake cheesecakes out for serving.

Freezing the no-bake mini cheesecakes will make them firm up. Storing them in the freezer will keep them fresh and prevent spoilage.

Alternate Ingredients

• Try substituting different gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies.
• Make this a gluten free dairy free cheesecake recipe by using gluten-free vegan cream cheese and plant-based butter
• Why not customize the color by adding some pink food coloring to the cheesecake filling?
