For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 4 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries pureed
For the Crunch Topping:

For the Strawberry Pink Cream Icing:

Method
 

Prepare the Crust:
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  3. Line a mini muffin pan with cupcake liners. Spoon a small amount of the crumb mixture into each liner and press firmly to form the crust.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Mix in the sugar and vanilla extract.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.
  4. Fold in the pureed strawberries and flour.
Bake the Cheesecake Bites:
  1. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each liner, filling about three-quarters full.
  2. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the centers are set.
  3. Let the bites cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Crunch Topping:
  1. In a bowl, mix chopped strawberries, Jell-O powder, crushed graham crackers, and melted butter.
  2. Press a small amount of the crunch mixture onto the tops of the cooled cheesecake bites.
Make the Icing:
  1. Beat the softened butter until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until smooth.
  3. Fold in the pureed strawberries and vanilla extract. Add pink food coloring if desired.
  4. Pipe a small swirl of icing on top of each cheesecake bite.
Chill and Serve:
  1. Refrigerate the bites for at least 2 hours to set.
  2. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or sprinkles, if desired, and serve chilled.
