Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams graham crackers about 8 full crackers
  • 100 grams unsalted butter melted
  • 250 grams cream cheese softened
  • 100 grams powdered sugar
  • 150 grams fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Food processor or blender
  • Mini muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Place graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and pour in melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  2. Scoop about a tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each muffin cup, pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon or a small glass to form an even, compact crust. Chill the crusts in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped strawberries, stirring gently to combine. The filling should be creamy and slightly chunky with bits of strawberries.
  4. Spoon the strawberry cream cheese filling over the chilled crusts, dividing it evenly among the muffin cups. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or a small spatula.
  5. Return the tray to the refrigerator and let the bites chill for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm and set. The cheesecake bites will develop a pink hue and a velvety texture.
  6. Once set, remove the bites from the muffin tin by gently twisting and lifting them out. Serve chilled, and enjoy their bright color and creamy texture.

Notes

For an extra touch, garnish each bite with a small strawberry slice or a sprig of mint before serving.
