These no-bake strawberry cheesecake bites are quick, easy, and perfect for summer snacks. They feature a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and fresh strawberry topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 1012 crackers, finely crushed)
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand, about 3-4 minutes. Add more butter if too dry.
  2. Press about 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture into each mini muffin cup or silicone mold, forming a small cup shape. Chill in fridge for 10 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping airiness.
  6. Spoon cheesecake filling evenly over chilled crusts, smoothing the surface.
  7. Toss diced strawberries with optional sugar and let sit for 5 minutes to macerate.
  8. Spoon macerated strawberries over each cheesecake bite and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
  9. Cover tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  10. Carefully pop cheesecake bites out of molds and serve chilled.

Notes

Chill the bites for at least 2 hours for best texture. Use cold cream and chilled bowls for whipping cream. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with plant-based alternative and heavy cream with coconut cream. For gluten-free, use almond flour crust.
