Mini Strawberry Cheesecake Cups (Print Version)

Delicious individual cheesecakes with fresh strawberries and graham cracker crust, ready in 20 minutes and perfect for any occasion.

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 1 1/2 cups fine graham cracker crumbs
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

→ Filling

04 - 16 oz cream cheese, softened
05 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Topping

07 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a bowl. Stir in melted butter until evenly mixed. Press 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup to form a firm crust.
02 - Beat softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
03 - Evenly divide the cream cheese filling among the muffin cups, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Chill the filled muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
04 - Slice fresh strawberries thinly and arrange on top of each cheesecake filling. Press gently into the surface to adhere.
05 - Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake cups for at least 2 hours until firm and chilled. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional strawberries or mint leaves.
