A no-bake dessert is always a winner, and these simple Funfetti Cheesecake Bites are no exception. Velvety cream cheese mixed with funfetti cake mix make these bites a yummy base for coating in even more sprinkles!

I’m a big fan of funfetti, as I’m sure you’ve guessed from the number of funfetti desserts on the site, like my Funfetti Puppy Chow, Funfetti Dip, and Funfetti Pretzel Bites!

Why you’ll love this recipe:

If you love cake batter, cookie dough, and cheesecake, you’re in for a treat. These Funfetti Cheesecake Bites combine the flavors of funfetti cake batter and cheesecake and turn them into poppable bites that have the texture of cookie dough! Easy no-bake Funfetti Cheesecake Bites are rich, creamy, and the perfect bite-sized cheesecake treat! Great for parties or snacking when the sweet cravings hit!

Let me introduce you to this Funfetti Cheesecake Bites recipe! So satisfying and makes the best no bake treat for any occasion. These little dessert bites are made of a cheesecake mixture and then rolled in sprinkles (you can use any of your favorites).

My only caveat to making funfetti treats is they have to actually taste like funfetti (which tastes like cake batter) – just adding sprinkles to a dessert doesn’t count!

So, when it comes to making the best Funfetti Cheesecake Bites, there’s no doubt it needs actual cake flavor. To bring that flavor into this cheesecake, I use cake mix and almond extract. You could use any vanilla or yellow cake mix, but I go for the real deal – funfetti cake mix. It adds the best flavor and really takes this cheesecake to the next level. If you love sprinkles and cake batter flavor, you have to try these cheesecake bites.

Ingredients you’ll need:

Cream cheese- softened
Butter – softened
Funfetti cake mix- heat treated
Powdered sugar
Almond extract
Rainbow sprinkles

I love cheesecake in any form, so a no-bake bite that doesn’t require a mixer and only has 6 ingredients? Yes, please! The cheesecake center is creamy, smooth and sweet, then rolled in sprinkles which takes them over the top and makes them even better, if that’s possible.

Cheesecake lovers rejoice! You don’t need to bake a whole cheesecake to enjoy your favorite dessert. Instead, make these super easy mini Funfetti Cheesecake Bites. This recipe only uses a handful of ingredients, doesn’t require any baking, and takes zero effort to make.

I love how this is a no-bake recipe because it doesn’t require a ton of time and you can make them up to 3 days ahead of time. These are the perfect size for a quick grab and go sweet treat or anytime you want to have cheesecake in your fridge without going through the hassle of making one. Each bite is packed with a variety of textures and oh so satisfying cheesecake goodness!

How to make the best Funfetti Cheesecake Bites:

Heat-treat your cake mix by adding it into a microwave safe bowl and microwaving for 60-90 seconds, stirring halfway through, then set aside to cool completely.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and softened butter. Using an electric mixer, mix to get rid of any lumps.
Add in the heat treated cake mix, powdered sugar, and almond extract, then mix to form a dough consistency.
Line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then roll the mixture into balls roughly 1 inch in size, placing them on your prepared pan as you go.
Pour the sprinkles into a small bowl and roll each ball into the sprinkles, coating completely. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat the process with the remaining cheesecake bites.
Refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

No bake funfetti cheesecake balls takes a box of cake mix and cream cheese and turns them into rich, creamy bite-sized treats. Dip them in melted chocolate, coat in colorful sprinkles, or dress them up for Christmas, mini desserts make the perfect portion-controlled, two-bite package!

Skip the hassle of baking or water baths—this completely no-bake recipe is quick and effortless. You can even use any cake mix in place of the funfetti flavor or even use brownie mix to make rich, chocolate cheesecake bites!

Feel free to make this recipe your own by rolling these little cheesecake bites in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cake mix, graham cracker crumbs, melted milk or white chocolate, crushed Oreo cookies, or colorful sprinkles like I do.

My top tips:

HEAT TREATING CAKE MIX: Heat treating the cake mix is an important step to ensuring this Funfetti Puppy Chow is completely safe to eat. You’ll add the cake mix into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 60-90 seconds to get rid of any unwanted bacteria, then you’re good to go!
SOFTENED INGREDIENTS: Softened cream cheese and butter are key in this recipe. It’s super important to make sure these two ingredients are fully softened so that they incorporate into the other ingredients easily, which ensures your dough will be super smooth rather than lumpy.
ALMOND EXTRACT: The almond extract in this recipe is optional, but it really does amplify the cake batter flavor.
ROLLING: You shouldn’t have any issues, but if you find that the dough is too sticky to roll into balls, you can place the dough into the freezer for 15 minutes to help it firm up and ensure it will hold its shape.
SPRINKLES: Feel free to use non-pareils or jimmies here – I used jimmies because I like how they’re a little softer to chew, but you can also switch out the colors and shapes of your sprinkles for different holidays or occasions.
STORING: Any leftover Funfetti Cheesecake Bites can be transferred into an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also freeze these for up to 2 months! To thaw frozen cheesecake bites, move them to the refrigerator overnight or for a few hours.
