Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pink food coloring
Topping
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Form the crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish to create an even crust layer.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add sweeteners and color: Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring to the cream cheese. Beat the mixture until it becomes fluffy and fully combined.
- Assemble the cheesecake bites: Spread the creamy pink cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust in the baking dish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake bites for at least 4 hours or until the filling is fully set and firm.
- Finish and serve: Before serving, top the cheesecake bites with the whipped cream and, if desired, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles for a festive touch.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened beforehand to make beating easier and achieve a smooth filling.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for the best texture and richness.
- The pink food coloring can be adjusted according to desired color intensity.
- Allowing the cheesecake bites to chill overnight will enhance the flavors and firmness.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free crumbs.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
