Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs Consider using gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free version.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Coconut oil can be swapped for a dairy-free alternative.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened A lower-fat option can be used for a lighter variant.
  • 1/2 cup sugar Honey or a sugar substitute can add sweetness while being waistline-friendly.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Pure maple syrup can lend a different sweetness.
  • 1 cup whipped cream Greek yogurt can be substituted for a protein-packed alternative.
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup strawberry crunch topping or crushed freeze-dried strawberries Freshly chopped strawberries work well too.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the crust bakes evenly.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a mini muffin tin to form the crust.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined to maintain an airy texture.
  5. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crusts in the muffin tin, allowing for a generous layer.
  6. Top each cheesecake bite with strawberry crunch topping for added flavor and texture.
Chilling
  1. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the bites to set and enhance the flavors.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. They are freezer-friendly and can be stored for up to three months. Use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
