Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries chopped
  • 1/4 cup crispy rice cereal

Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • Mini Muffin Cups or Silicone Molds
  • Large bowl
  • Chilled Bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Crunchy Crust. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until all crumbs are coated and resemble wet sand. Press about a tablespoon of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each mini muffin cup or silicone mold. Pop into the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  2. Step 2: Whip Up the Creamy Filling. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until wonderfully smooth and lump-free. In a separate, chilled bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined. Carefully fold in the chopped fresh strawberries and crispy rice cereal.
  3. Step 3: Assemble and Chill. Spoon the filling over the prepared crusts, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon. Place them back in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set up properly and become firm.
  4. Step 4: Unmold and Serve. Once perfectly firm, carefully unmold the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites. Serve chilled.

Notes

Tips for Success: Ensure cream cheese is truly softened to avoid a lumpy filling. Do not overmix the whipped cream after folding it into the cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and airy. Respect the full chilling time for proper setting and texture. These bites can be made a day in advance as flavors meld beautifully overnight.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Freezing is not recommended as it may alter the texture of the filling and crispy rice cereal.
