Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Base:
- 1 cup (240 ml) crushed graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 package (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips, melted
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
- Extra strawberries, sliced
- Additional melted white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pulverize graham crackers and meld with melted butter until achieving a sandy, cohesive texture that holds together when pressed.
- Transfer the crumbly mixture into a silicone mini muffin pan, compressing firmly to create a uniform, compact base for each cheesecake bite.
- Whip cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes velvety smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently incorporate melted white chocolate into the cream cheese blend, stirring until completely integrated and maintaining a consistent, glossy appearance.
- Delicately fold finely diced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Carefully spoon the strawberry-infused cream cheese filling over the graham cracker bases, ensuring each compartment is filled to the brim.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours at 40°F, allowing the cheesecake bites to solidify completely and develop a rich, creamy consistency.
- Gently extract the set cheesecake bites from the silicone pan, using a small offset spatula if needed to release edges.
- Embellish each bite with a petite fresh strawberry slice and a delicate drizzle of melted white chocolate for an elegant finishing touch.
Notes
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters beforehand to ensure a smoother, more stable cream cheese mixture that whips up beautifully.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and create a silky-smooth filling that blends seamlessly.
- Opt for fresh, ripe strawberries at peak season for the most intense and vibrant fruit flavor in your cheesecake bites.
- For a gluten-free version, swap graham crackers with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs to maintain the same delightful crunchy base.
