Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
- Mini muffin liners (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press a spoonful of this mixture into the bottoms of mini muffin liners or a mini muffin tin to form a crust.
- Top the graham cracker crust with a spoonful of the cheesecake filling, smoothing the top to create an even layer.
- In another bowl, combine the crushed freeze-dried strawberries with the strawberry jam. Spoon this mixture over the cheesecake filling, creating a layer of strawberry crunch topping.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm and set.
- Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake bites from the muffin tin or liners, and serve chilled. Enjoy the sweet, crunchy treat!
Notes
- For a variation, you can use raspberries or blueberries instead of strawberries for a different fruit flavor.
- If you prefer, you can also drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for an extra indulgence.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers or a gluten-free crust alternative.
