Why You Will Love Halloween Cheesecake Cups

  • They can be served as a premade dessert or an edible craft. Whether you want to make these beforehand and serve them to guests, or you want your guests to make their own on the spot, these spooky Halloween cheesecake cups deliver!
  • Thanks to a special ingredient, they’re super easy to make. These cheesecake cups use premade cheesecake filling, so all you have to do is dye the filling your desired color(s) and decorate the top of each cup.
  • They’re completely customizable. There’s no right or wrong way to make these mini cheesecakes! I’ll share how I made mine below, but you can make yours however you (or your guests) want.

Ingredients Needed for Cheesecake Halloween Cups

Ingredient quantities for these easy Halloween cheesecake cups are located in the recipe card at the end of the post.

  1. Philadelphia No Bake Cheesecake Filling – This is the special ingredient that makes these cheesecake cups so easy to make! I always buy it at Walmart, but some grocery stores carry it as well.
  2. 2-oz mini dessert cups – I purchased the set with (mini) spoons included. They also have a set with cups + spoons + lids if you need to transport your cheesecake cups.
  3. Food dye
  4. Various toppings (sprinkles, Oreos, candy corn, candy eyes)

If you use 2-oz cups, a tub of filling will make 12 individual servings.

How To Make Halloween Cheesecake Cups

The steps below outline a few ideas for making these cheesecake cups, but you can get as creative as you want!

Divide the cheesecake filling and dye it to your preferences. I made orange, black, green, and purple cheesecake with this food dye gel.

Green Halloween Cheesecake Cups

For these, I used:

Purple Halloween Cheesecake Cups

For these, I used:

  • Halloween Oreos – These are great because they come with five different designs. The designs are very clear on the cookies, which is a big plus.
  • Purple sprinkles – I love how vibrant these are!
  • Plastic spiders – You can never go wrong with creepy plastic spiders. Just make sure people know they aren’t edible!

Black Halloween Cheesecake Cups

For these, I used:

  • Oreos – I crushed the cookies to make the dirt. You can use regular Oreos or Halloween Oreos (it doesn’t matter since you won’t use the filling).
  • Zombie hands – Just like the plastic spiders, make sure people know these aren’t edible!

I hope you have fun with these. Happy Halloween! 🎃
