Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

For the crust:
• 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
• 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup (60g) powdered sugar
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup (120g) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
• ⅓ cup strawberry jam or puréed fresh strawberries (well-drained)
For the crunch topping:
• ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
• 2 tbsp graham cracker crumbs
• Optional: 1 tsp melted butter to bind

Instructions

  1. Crust: Mix graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press 1 tsp into bottom of each cup in a 24-cup mini muffin tin. Chill 10 min.
  2. Filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Divide mixture in half. Swirl strawberry jam into one half.
  3. Spoon plain filling into half the cups; strawberry swirl into the other half—or layer both for marbled effect.
  4. Topping: Mix crushed freeze-dried strawberries and graham crumbs. Sprinkle over each bite.
  5. Chill at least 2 hours (or freeze 30 min for firmer texture).
  6. To serve, run a warm knife around edges or pop out gently. Keep refrigerated.
