Description
Delightful bite-sized treats that combine creamy cheesecake, fresh strawberries, and a satisfying crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup crushed cornflakes
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Start your Strawberry Cheesecake Crunch Bites by preparing the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well-mixed. This crumbly mixture should hold together when pressed.
- Next, take mini muffin tins or silicone molds and firmly press the mixture into the bottom to form small crusts. Bake in a preheated oven set to 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes. Once baked, set them aside to cool completely.
- While the crust cools, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Spoon the cream cheese filling into the cooled crusts, using a small spatula or a piping bag for neatness. Make sure to fill each crust evenly.
- For the crunchy topping, mix chopped strawberries and crushed cornflakes in a bowl. Gently spoon this mixture on top of the cheesecake filling.
- If you want to elevate these bites further, melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops.
- Finally, refrigerate the assembled bites for at least 120 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese for smoother mixing. Consider folding nuts into the crunch topping for added texture.
