• Make individual servings by preparing in mini muffin tins lined with paper cups.

Storage

Store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture and flavor, consume within this time. Reheat is not recommended as the texture may change; enjoy them chilled for the best experience.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat cream cheese or heavy cream?

While you can use low-fat versions, the texture may be less creamy and rich. Full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream yield the best results for a smooth and fluffy cheesecake filling.

How do I prevent the crust from becoming soggy?

Make sure to press the crust firmly and evenly to create a solid barrier. Also, refrigerating the cheesecake bites until fully set helps keep the crust firm and prevents sogginess.

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 teaspoon pink food coloring

For the Topping

• 1 cup whipped cream
• Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Stir the mixture until it resembles wet sand, ensuring the crumbs are evenly coated.
2. Form the Crust Base: Firmly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish, creating an even layer that will serve as the crust.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a whisk or mixer.

5. Assemble the Cheesecake Bites: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 4 hours or until they are fully set and firm enough to cut into bite-sized pieces.
7. Finish and Serve: Just before serving, top each cheesecake bite with whipped cream and sprinkle with optional colorful sprinkles for an extra festive touch.

Notes

• Optional: Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce over the bites for extra indulgence.
• Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
• Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, but overnight chilling will yield firmer bites.
• Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant pink without altering the texture.
