Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites

Prep Time 25 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 12 bites

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons Melted butter
  • 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
  • 0.67 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Fresh strawberries, diced
  • 0.5 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 0.75 cup Granola or cereal crunch topping
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or agave nectar
  • 1 pinch Salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners for easy removal and presentation.
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and a pinch of salt. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  • Divide the crumb mixture evenly among all 12 muffin cups, pressing gently to form an even layer at the bottom. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating until fully combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  • Fold the diced strawberries into the cheesecake mixture until evenly distributed.
  • Spoon the strawberry cheesecake filling evenly into each muffin cup, filling to about three-quarters full.
  • In a small bowl, toss the granola or cereal crunch topping with honey to lightly coat and bind it together.
  • Sprinkle approximately 1 tablespoon of the crunch mixture onto each bite, pressing gently so it adheres to the filling.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is completely set and firm to the touch.
  • Carefully remove from the muffin tin by gently pressing up from the bottom, or simply serve directly in the liners.

Notes

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
