Equipment
- Mini Cheesecake Liners or Cups
- Food Processor or Plastic Bag & Rolling Pin
- Spatula
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuit crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar for the crust
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar for smoothness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional but recommended
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam or syrup optional, for extra flavor
Instructions
- Place graham crackers or digestive biscuits in a plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or pulse briefly in a food processor.
- Mix the crushed biscuits with granulated sugar and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
- Spoon a layer of the biscuit mixture into the bottom of each mini cheesecake liner, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to form a compact crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and free of lumps.
- Fold the fresh strawberry slices into the cream cheese filling gently, just enough to combine, leaving some strawberry pieces visible and adding a vibrant look.
- Spoon the strawberry filling over the prepared crusts, filling each liner nearly to the top and smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Top each mini cheesecake with an extra strawberry slice or a small dollop of jam for a colorful finishing touch.
- refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 2 hours, or until set and firm to the touch, to allow flavors to meld and the filling to stabilize.
- Remove the cheesecakes from the fridge and serve chilled, enjoying their creamy texture and fresh strawberry bursts with each bite.
Notes
To make crust more flavorful, add a pinch of cinnamon or a tablespoon of honey to the biscuit mixture before pressing into liners. For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese. Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
