Perfectly portioned for a satisfying treat, these bites offer a rich and refreshing flavor with an effortless preparation method ideal for beginners, parties, or anytime indulgence.

Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling

  • Cream cheese, softened – 8 oz (225 g)
  • Granulated sugar – 1/4 cup (50 g)
  • Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
  • Heavy cream – 1/2 cup (120 ml)

Crunchy Base & Topping

  • Graham cracker crumbs – 1 1/2 cups (150 g), divided
  • Butter, melted – 6 tbsp (85 g), divided

Fresh Fruit

  • Fresh strawberries, sliced – 1 cup (150 g)

Optional

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crunchy Base: Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and mix with 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs until combined. Press this mixture firmly into a lined pan or into small silicone molds to create a solid base layer.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and silky. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until light and airy.
  3. Assemble the Bites: Spoon or pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker base, smoothing the tops. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
  4. Add Fresh Strawberries and Crunchy Topping: Once set, top each cheesecake bite with fresh strawberry slices. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs with 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle this crunchy topping over the strawberries for extra texture.
  5. Chill and Serve: Return the assembled bites to the refrigerator to chill further, allowing flavors to meld. Serve cool, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or garnished with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Select ripe, firm strawberries that are not watery for the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time to let the filling fully set for easy slicing and handling.
  • Silicone molds help with easy removal and maintain perfect bite shape.
  • Adjust sugar amount in the filling to suit your sweetness preference.
