Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- Fresh fruit topping (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, or seasonal fruits)
- Lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Crush 1 1/2 cups (150g) of graham cracker crumbs until fine using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Mix the crumbs with 6 tablespoons (85g) melted unsalted butter until the mixture feels like wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a mini muffin tin or silicone molds, about 1 tablespoon per cavity. Compact evenly and chill in the fridge.
- In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese with 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, maintaining fluffiness.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts, filling each cavity almost to the top and smooth the surface.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Just before serving, top each bite with fresh fruit slices or berries and a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Whip cream until stiff peaks form for best texture. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Chill bites for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. For gluten-free crust, substitute graham crackers with almond flour or gluten-free crackers. For dairy-free, use plant-based cream cheese and coconut cream.
