Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Electric Mixer
  • 1 Spoon for assembling

Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream whipped

Base and Topping

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Fruit Layer

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated and fluffy.
  • In another bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.

Assembly

  • Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly among 8 serving cups, pressing down to form a base. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the base, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries.
  • Sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs over the top for a crunchy finish. Add a few more strawberry slices for garnish.
  • Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

Serving

  • Enjoy the cheesecake cups chilled, straight from the refrigerator. They are perfect as a light dessert or a sweet snack.

Storage

  • Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to three days.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions: Use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter option. How to Serve: Serve chilled, can be garnished with mint leaves or chocolate drizzle. Storage & Freshness: Best consumed within three days; store in the refrigerator. Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare components separately and assemble before serving.
