Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • Extra white chocolate for drizzling


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cheesecake bites.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Form the base: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottoms of mini muffin tins, creating an even crust layer for each bite.
  4. Mix the filling: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, melted white chocolate, diced fresh strawberries, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  5. Assemble the bites: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts in the mini muffin tins, filling each to the top.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tins in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
  7. Cool and drizzle: Remove the bites from the oven and let them cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle extra melted white chocolate over the top for an elegant finish.
  8. Chill: Transfer the cheesecake bites to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. This step helps them firm up for easy serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when baking and serving.
  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • The cheesecake bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a decorative touch, add sliced strawberries on top before chilling.
