    ❤️ Why you'll love this recipe

    • A delicious dessert without turning on the oven.
    • Easy prep and assembly.
    • So versatile! Add a variety of cracker crumbs and fruit combos.
    • Mini strawberry cheesecake cups so simple, sweet and creamy!

    These cups are such a fun little sweet treat! My kids love that dessert cup is just for them. They love to assemble their own cup, adding a touch of caramel or a drizzle of chocolate syrup or topping of rainbow sprinkles.

    🥄 Instructions

    Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The full instructions are in the recipe card below.

    1. Crush the biscuits/graham crackers in a plastic bag using a rolling pin or in the food processor until we have tiny pieces and mostly crumble texture.
    2. Add the melted butter and 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar and mix well.
    3. Spread it on a plate and allow to sit.

    1. In a medium sized bowl whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it starts to thicken a bit.
    2. Add the confectioner's sugar and continue to whip until we have stiff peaks. Do not whip more than needed else the air will be knocked out and we won't get an airy texture.
    3. In a medium sized bowl loosen the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add roughly chopped strawberries to a food processor or blender. Blend until a puree consistency. Add the strawberry puree in parts.
    4. Add vanilla and make sure it is incorporated in the mix. Now add the strawberry puree in parts. Continue mixing and beat until fully incorporated.

    1. Add 2 1/2 tablespoons of cracker crumble to a serving glass or dish.
    2. Spoon in 5-6 tablespoons strawberry cheesecake mixture on top.
    3. Add 1 tablespoon of the strawberry puree on top (optional). Top with fresh strawberry slices. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Serve cold and enjoy!

    💡 Tips

    • You can place the graham crackers in the food processor instead.
    • Fresh cream can also be used instead of the whipping cream. Just whip it a little longer.
    • For a prettier dessert, if you're having guests, use a pastry bag to pipe in the whipped cream. Or use the back of a spoon to smooth it down.
    • Use a smaller cup to push down or pack down the graham cracker crumbs.

    🧺 Storage

    • These strawberry cheesecake cups can be kept covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    💬 FAQs

    What can I use instead of graham crackers?

    If you aren't able to find graham crackers, some other ideas are digestive biscuits, Biscoff/tea crackers, or even shortbread or gingerbread cookies. If you're feeling adventurous, try crushed pretzels, chocolate or any other kind of crisp cookies.

    Can I use strawberry jam?

    Yes! You can use whole fruit preserves into the cream cheese mixture and leave out the powdered sugar, especially if the preserves or jam already have added sugar.

    📣 Related Recipe

    Individual desserts are usually fast and just enough to curb that craving. Sometimes you need some single serve desserts instead of a big slice of cake. Here are some of my favorite.

    • Decadent and rich in chocolate these molten chocolate cakes are very simple with only 6 ingredients.
    • Easy lemon curd tarts are very simple. Luscious cream and raspberries are nestled inside individual puff-pastry shells to create sweet, flaky tarts.
    • Give your creme brulee an extra ounce of flavor that's just right using real vanilla beans. These are easier to make than you might think.
