Strawberry Cheesecake Crunch Bites Delicious Easy Treat
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add the diced strawberries to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold until combined.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top of the cooled graham cracker crust in the mini muffin tins. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the bites to set.
- Once set, carefully remove the bites from the muffin tins. Top each bite with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios for added crunch.
