Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs For the crunchy base
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted To bind the crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar For sweetness
For the filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure it's at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar For sweetness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract For flavor
  • 1 cup whipped cream To lighten the filling
  • 1 cup crushed strawberries Fresh or frozen
For serving
  • some strawberry sauce For drizzling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and resemble wet sand.
  2. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined baking dish or mini muffin tin, ensuring an even layer.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Fold in the whipped cream gently, followed by the crushed strawberries.
Assembly and Chilling
  1. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust you've prepared, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  2. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm.
Serving
  1. Once chilled, cut into bite-sized squares or scoop out of the muffin tin. Drizzle with strawberry sauce before serving.
