Easy Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites Recipe

Step 1 – Prepare the Base

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
2. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like damp sand.
3. Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners (this makes removal easy).
4. Spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each liner and press down firmly using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass.
5. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Step 2 – Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, keeping the texture light and airy.
5. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly into the chilled crusts.

Step 3 – Make the Strawberry Crunch Topping

1. In a food processor, pulse the golden sandwich cookies and freeze-dried strawberries until you have fine crumbs with a slightly chunky texture.
2. Pour the crumbs into a bowl and mix in the melted butter until evenly coated.
3. Sprinkle the strawberry crunch generously over the cheesecake bites, pressing gently so it sticks.

Step 4 – Chill and Serve

1. Refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 2 hours so they firm up.
2. Before serving, optionally top each bite with fresh strawberry slices or a small swirl of whipped cream.
3. Peel away the paper liners and enjoy the perfect blend of creamy, fruity, and crunchy in every bite.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

• Freeze for a firmer texture: If you like your bites extra chilled and sliceable, pop them in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving.
• Don’t skip the freeze-dried strawberries: They give that concentrated strawberry flavor and vibrant pink color.
• For a twist, swap out the strawberries for freeze-dried raspberries or blueberries.
