Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: Start by rinsing the fresh strawberries under cold water. Remove the green tops (hull) and cut each strawberry in half. Set them aside in a bowl for later assembly.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract until the filling is fluffy and completely smooth.

      Create the Crust Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated and the texture resembles wet sand. This mixture will form the base of your bites.

        Assemble the Bites: Line a mini muffin pan with paper cupcake liners. Take approximately one tablespoon of the crust mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of each liner to create a solid base. Next, add a small dollop of the cheesecake filling on top of the crust and gently press a half strawberry into each cheesecake bite.

          Freeze the Bites: With a spoon, add a little more cheesecake filling over the strawberries, ensuring they are fully covered. If you like, sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips on top for extra sweetness and texture. Place the muffin pan in the freezer and freeze the bites for at least 3 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once thoroughly frozen, carefully peel off the cupcake liners from the cheesecake bites. Serve the bites directly from the freezer for a refreshing treat. For an elegant finish, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Relish the delightful combination of fruity, creamy, and crunchy textures in each bite!
