Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 1/4 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup Golden Oreo crumbs, optional
- 2–3 tablespoons melted butter, optional
- Fresh strawberry coulis, optional
- White chocolate ganache drizzle, optional
- Lemon glaze, optional
Instructions
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and 4 tablespoons melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into 12 lined mini muffin cups.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
- Whip the heavy whipping cream separately until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crusts, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Combine the crushed freeze-dried strawberries with the crispy rice cereal. Add Golden Oreo crumbs and melted butter if desired.
- Sprinkle the strawberry crunch mixture over each cheesecake bite.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the filling feels firm and set.
- Serve chilled with extra strawberry crunch, fresh strawberries, strawberry coulis, white chocolate ganache, or lemon glaze if desired.
Notes
- Keep extra strawberry crunch topping separate until serving for the crispiest texture.
- Swirl a small amount of strawberry puree through the cheesecake filling before chilling for stronger strawberry flavor.
- Add rainbow sprinkles to the graham cracker crust for extra color.
- Decorate with white chocolate drizzle or mini wafer halves.
- Freeze the bites without their crunchy topping for a convenient make-ahead dessert.
- Let frozen bites soften for 10 to 15 minutes before serving, then add fresh crunch.
