For the Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping
- 12 fresh strawberries, halved or sliced
- Prepare the Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture holds together when pressed. Press the crust mixture firmly into mini muffin liners or a silicone mold to form thin, even bases for your cheesecake bites.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, blend cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This velvety filling delivers the classic cheesecake flavor with each bite.
- Assemble the Bites: Pipe or spoon a generous layer of the cheesecake filling over each prepared crust. Smooth the tops gently to create a neat layer that’s ready for the strawberry topping.
- Add Fresh Strawberries: Top each bite with a halved or sliced fresh strawberry, pressing them slightly into the filling to secure. The fresh fruit adds brightness and natural sweetness.
- Chill to Set: Place the assembled Strawberry Cheesecake Strawberry Bites in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up so they hold their shape perfectly when served.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to achieve a silky, lump-free filling.
- Choose ripe, firm strawberries for best flavor and appearance.
- Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling when picking up the bites.
- Chill the bites adequately to ensure the cheesecake layer sets properly and is not too soft.
- Try piping the filling for a neat, professional presentation.
