How to Make Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Make the Crust

In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are coated evenly.

Press firmly into the bottom of your molds to create a solid crust base. Chill while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Mixture

In another bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

Step 3: Whip the Cream

Whip cold heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 4: Fold in the Good Stuff

Add chopped strawberries and crispy rice cereal. Stir just until combined—don’t overmix!

Step 5: Fill and Chill

Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the crusts. Fill each mold generously. Smooth tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 6: Refrigerate

Chill for at least 3 hours, or until completely set. Overnight is even better.

Step 7: Serve & Savor

Gently remove from molds and serve chilled. Add a chocolate drizzle or extra berry on top if you’re feeling fancy!

What to Serve With These Cheesecake Bites

A cup of iced coffee or tea

A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream

Tips for the Best Cheesecake Bites Ever

Chill your heavy cream beforehand—it whips better cold.
Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
Don’t skip chilling time! It helps the bites firm up.
For easy removal, use silicone molds or line muffin tins with mini liners.

How to Store

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Freeze bites on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Keep for up to 2 months. Thaw in fridge before serving.

FAQs: Your Questions Answered

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! In fact, they taste even better the next day.
