Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Equipment

  • 24-cup mini muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Saucepan
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
  3. Press firmly into the bottom of each cup in the mini muffin tin.
  4. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  5. While the crust is baking, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan.
  6. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  7. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  8. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and sour cream. Do not overmix.
  9. Spoon the cream cheese filling into each muffin cup, filling almost to the top.
  10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  11. Turn off the oven and crack the door slightly. Let the cheesecake bites cool in the oven for 30 minutes.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature.
  13. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  14. Before serving, spoon the cooled strawberry topping over each cheesecake bite.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Macerating strawberries prevents a soggy filling. Cool slowly in the oven to avoid cracks. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
