Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs Consider using gluten-free crumbs if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Melted, helps bind the crust together.
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar Adds a hint of sweetness to the crust.
  • a pinch table salt Enhances overall flavor.
For the filling
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream Cold, whipped to airy perfection.
  • 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese Room temperature to blend seamlessly.
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar Sifted, provides smooth sweetness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract For classic cheesecake flavor.
  • Strawberry sauce and blueberries For serving, these fresh toppings elevate the dessert.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt until combined.
  2. Line a muffin pan with six paper liners. Press roughly 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each paper liner, forming the crust. Refrigerate while you work on the filling.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream on high speed until it thickens and stiff peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and keep it cold in the refrigerator.
  5. In the same mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Gently fold in the whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
  7. Divide the cream cheese filling among the paper liners. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Serve with strawberry sauce and blueberries on top.

Notes

Using room temperature cream cheese is crucial for a smooth filling. Patience during refrigeration is key to achieving the right texture. You can add a splash of lemon juice or zest for extra flavor.
