Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Crust

Crush graham crackers (or digestive biscuits) into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and a little sugar. Press the mixture firmly into lined muffin tins or silicone molds to form the base. Chill for 10 minutes.
Tip: Use the bottom of a small glass to press the crust evenly.

2. Whip the Cheesecake Filling

Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and fold in whipped cream or Cool Whip to make the filling light and fluffy.

3. Fill the Cups

Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture onto the chilled crusts. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

4. Chill Until Set

Refrigerate the bites for at least 2–3 hours (overnight works best). This allows them to firm up properly.

5. Add Toppings & Serve

Top with fresh berries, chocolate drizzle, caramel sauce, or crushed cookies just before serving.

Storage & Serving Tips

• Fridge: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  
• Freezer: Freeze without toppings for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
  
• Serving Ideas: Great for dessert trays, baby showers, or as a light summer dessert.

FAQs

Can I use Oreos instead of graham crackers?
Yes! Just crush them (filling included) and mix with butter.

How long do they take to set?
At least 2–3 hours in the fridge, but overnight gives the best texture.

Can I make them ahead of time?
Absolutely — they’re even better when chilled overnight.

Can I make these sugar-free?
Yes, use sugar-free sweetener and low-sugar cookies for the crust.

Do I need cupcake liners?
If you’re using a muffin tin, liners help with easy removal. A silicone mold works without them.
