Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs for crust
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for crust

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Place graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl, then pour melted butter over and stir until evenly combined.
  2. Press about a teaspoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each mini muffin cup to form a sturdy, even crust.
  3. Bake the crusts in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then let cool completely.
  4. In a food processor, puree half of the chopped strawberries until smooth, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  6. Fold the strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and a soft pink color appears.
  7. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each cooled crust, filling nearly to the top.
  8. Top each mini cheesecake with a small piece of fresh strawberry for a vibrant garnish.
  9. Chill the bites in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
  10. Serve these delightful treats chilled, with the bright strawberry tops creating a colorful contrast.
