Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pink food coloring
For the Topping
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a whisk or mixer.
- Add Sweeteners and Color: To the cream cheese, add powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring. Beat the mixture until it becomes fluffy and well combined, with a uniform pink hue.
- Assemble the Cheesecake Bites: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- 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.
- 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.
