Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- Extra white chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cheesecake bites.
- Prepare Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined, then press this mixture firmly into the bottom of mini muffin tins to form the crust base.

- Assemble Bites: Spoon the cream cheese and strawberry mixture evenly over the graham cracker crusts in the muffin tins, filling each cavity.
- Bake: Place the filled muffin tins in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the filling to set while maintaining its creamy texture.
- Cool: Remove the bites from the oven and let them cool to room temperature to firm up slightly.
- Drizzle Topping: Drizzle extra melted white chocolate over the cooled cheesecake bites for added flavor and decoration.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure they are fully set and refreshing.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling without lumps.
- Press the crust mixture firmly to ensure a sturdy base for the cheesecake bites.
- Fresh strawberries add a natural sweetness and texture—avoid canned or frozen for best results.
- Extra chilling time will make the cheesecake bites firmer and easier to handle.
- For a decorative touch, use a piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate neatly.
