Servings: 6 cups

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar, then stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of each of the 6 glass cups to form a crust layer.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.
5. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in each cup, smoothing the tops.
6. Top each cheesecake cup with freshly sliced strawberries.
7. Refrigerate the cups for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together beautifully.

Helpful Tips

If you’re new to making no-bake desserts, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in your filling. If you’re short on time, pre-made graham cracker crumbs can be a real lifesaver.

For a citrusy twist, fold in a tablespoon of lemon zest into the cream cheese mixture. Alternatively, swap strawberries for any of your favorite berries for a delightful variation.

Storage Instructions

Store these No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed freshly chilled.
