Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Cupcake Base

1. In a large bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and melted butter.

2. Blend the ingredients until they form a crumbly texture.

3. Press the mixture firmly into the base of cupcake liners placed in a muffin tin to create the crust for your cupcakes.

4. Place the tin in the refrigerator to let the crust set while you prepare the filling. But if you are using all-purpose flour or wheat flour, place the batter-filled cupcake liners in a pre-heated pan and bake it for 30 minutes in low flame.

5. Allow it to cool down later.

Step 2: Make the No-Bake Filling

1. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

2. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

3. Gently add the whipped cream to create a light and fluffy texture.

4. Divide the filling into two equal parts.

5. Add red food colouring to one part and green food colouring to the other, thereby mixing until you achieve vibrant colours.

Step 3: Assemble the Cupcakes

1. Take the muffin tin with the chilled crusts from the refrigerator.

2. Spoon the red filling onto one side of each crust, and the green filling onto the other side, creating a festive two-tone effect.

3. Smooth the tops with a spatula for a polished finish.

Step 4: Decorate and Chill

1. Sprinkle the Christmas-themed toppings onto each cupcake for a delightful touch.

2. You can get creative with edible glitter, holiday sprinkles, or crushed candy canes.

3. Place the cupcakes back in the refrigerator to set for at least 2-3 hours or until firm.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once the cupcakes have set, remove them from the refrigerator and serve to your delighted guests. Not only these no-bake Christmas-themed cupcakes are delicious but also a festive addition to any holiday celebration.

No oven? No problem! With these simple steps, you can create delightful Christmas-themed cupcakes that are sure to impress your family and friends. Get creative with the decorations, involve the little ones in the process, and let the joy of the season shine through in every delicious bite. Happy holidays!
