Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs for crust
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for crust
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for filling
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for filling
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries halved or sliced for topping

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Mini muffin tin
  • Piping bag or plastic zip-top bag
  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar, then stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press a spoonful of this crust mixture into the bottom of each cavity in a mini muffin tin, then use the back of a spoon to press and flatten evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy with a whisk or hand mixer. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until fully incorporated and silky.
  3. Fold the cream cheese mixture gently into the whipped cream cheese until smooth and homogeneous. The filling should be thick but creamy.
  4. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each prepared crust, filling them just below the top rim. Smooth the surface gently with the back of a spoon or a small spatula.
  5. Place small halved or sliced strawberries on top of each cheesecake filling, pressing them gently into the surface for decoration and extra flavor.
  6. Return the assembled bites to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, allowing the filling to set and flavors to meld.
  7. Once set, remove the bites carefully from the muffin tin using a small spatula or by gently pressing from the bottom. Arrange on a serving tray and enjoy these bright, bite-sized treats.

Notes

For a more vibrant appearance, decorate with additional small strawberry slices just before serving. These bites are best enjoyed within 24 hours of making but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
