Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup crushed pistachios (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
  2. Press about a tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of mini muffin tins to form a crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Add the diced strawberries to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold until combined.
  6. Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top of the cooled graham cracker crust in the mini muffin tins. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the bites to set.
  8. Once set, carefully remove the bites from the muffin tins. Top each bite with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios for added crunch.
