Ingredients

Scale

Crust

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

1 package cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

Topping

1/2 cup strawberry crunch topping (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture is well combined. Press evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely.
Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to beat until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped topping and diced fresh strawberries to create a light, fluffy filling.
Assemble the layers: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust. Sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping generously over the cheesecake layer to add texture and flavor.
Chill the dessert: Cover the assembled cheesecake bites with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld and the cheesecake firm up.
Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake out of the baking dish. Cut into bite-sized squares and serve chilled for best texture and taste.

Notes

For a homemade strawberry crunch topping, you can use crushed freeze-dried strawberries mixed with crushed graham crackers or cereal.
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
These cheesecake bites are best enjoyed within 2-3 days when kept refrigerated.
You can substitute fresh strawberries with frozen, but thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
If you want to make gluten-free bites, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
