Description

These mini strawberry shortcake cheesecakes combine the classic flavors of strawberry shortcake with the creamy richness of cheesecake. Perfect for parties or a sweet treat at home, they are easy to make and bursting with fresh strawberry goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) graham crackers, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Crush 1 cup (120g) of graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Combine with 4 tablespoons (60g) of melted butter and 2 tablespoons (25g) of granulated sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup, forming an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces (450g) of cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup (100g) of sugar and 1 teaspoon (5ml) of vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, until the filling is smooth.
  3. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set. Let cool completely before removing from the tin.
  4. Slice 1 cup (150g) of strawberries and mix with 2 tablespoons (25g) of sugar. Let sit for 15 minutes to release juices.
  5. Beat 1 cup (240ml) of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons (15g) of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  6. Top each cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream and a spoonful of strawberries. Add a whole strawberry or mint leaf for garnish if desired.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth filling. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent cracks. Use a water bath for extra insurance against cracking. Cool the cheesecakes gradually to prevent sinking.
