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