Instructions
Creating Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
2. Press the Crust: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of each liner to form the crust.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
4. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Add Strawberries: Fold the chopped strawberries into the cheesecake filling, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
6. Fill the Muffin Tins: Spoon the cheesecake filling into the prepared muffin tins, filling each liner to the top.
7. Chill: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the cheesecake to set.
8. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the strawberry jam with a bit of water to thin it out for drizzling.
9. Assemble the Bites: Once the cheesecake has set, drizzle the strawberry jam on top of each bite. Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries over the jam for a crunchy finish.
10. Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake bites from the muffin tin and serve chilled.
