These adorable no-bake mummy cheesecake bites are a fun and easy Halloween treat. Creamy cheesecake filling on a vanilla wafer cookie, wrapped in fluffy white frosting and topped with candy eyes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces full-fat block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 30–36 vanilla wafer cookies (e.g., Nilla Wafers)
  • 1 can (16 ounces) white frosting (or homemade buttercream)
  • 1–2 packages candy eyes
  • Optional: black decorating gel
  • Optional: orange sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese: Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before starting, or microwave in 10-second bursts until soft.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until combined and creamy. Scrape down sides.
  3. Portion the filling: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop rounded portions (about 1 heaping tablespoon each) and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should get 24-30 balls.
  4. Assemble the bites: Place a vanilla wafer cookie flat side up. Gently press a cheesecake ball onto the center of the cookie. Repeat with all cookies and cheesecake balls.
  5. Freeze the bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour, until firm.
  6. Prepare the frosting: Transfer white frosting to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Snip off a tiny corner (about 1/8 inch wide). If too thick, microwave for 5-10 seconds.
  7. Decorate the mummies: Working with one frozen bite at a time, pipe frosting back and forth across the cheesecake ball in uneven lines to create mummy wraps, leaving a small gap for eyes. Immediately press two candy eyes into the gap. Repeat with all bites.
  8. Set and serve: Place decorated bites in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the frosting set. Serve cold.

Notes

Freezing the bites before decorating is essential for clean frosting lines. Use full-fat block cream cheese for best texture. For dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan buttercream. For gluten-free, use gluten-free vanilla wafers. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Undecorated bites can be frozen for up to 3 months.
