Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Optional topping: Strawberry sauce or chocolate ganache

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a mini muffin tin lined with paper liners. Use the bottom of a small glass to pack it down well.
  3. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Beat in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until the filling is light and creamy. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the crusts in the muffin tin.
  7. Chill the bites: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.
  8. Once set, remove the paper liners. Top each mini cheesecake bite with your choice of strawberry sauce or chocolate ganache before serving.

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, you can bake the crusts for 5 minutes at 350°F before chilling, but this recipe works well without baking.
  • Make ahead desserts like these store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you want a pink velvet look, add 1-2 drops of red food coloring to the cream cheese mixture before adding the vanilla.
