Instructions
Instructions:
Prepare the Cheesecake Bites:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
Add the Egg: Add the egg and beat until just combined.
Add Sour Cream, Heavy Cream, and Flour: Stir in the sour cream, heavy cream, flour, and salt until smooth.
Fill the Crusts: Place mini graham cracker crusts into a muffin tin (either pre-made or homemade) and spoon the cheesecake batter evenly into each crust, filling about 3/4 of the way.
Bake: Bake the cheesecake bites for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set and the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Strawberry Crunch Topping:
Make the Crunch Topping: In a small bowl, combine the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Assemble the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites:
Top the Cheesecake Bites: Once the cheesecake bites have cooled, sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping generously over the top of each bite, pressing gently so it sticks.
Chill: Place the cheesecake bites in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the bites to firm up.
Serve:
Once chilled, serve the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites as a sweet and delicious dessert! They’re perfect for a bite-sized treat that combines creamy cheesecake with a crunchy, fruity topping.
