Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Strawberry Crunch Coating

  • 1 cup crushed vanilla cookies (Golden Oreos or similar)
  • 1 packet strawberry Jell-O powder (3 oz)
  • 3 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until fully incorporated, creating a light, fluffy cheesecake filling.
  2. Make Crust: In a separate bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 8×8-inch pan to form an even and compact crust base.
  3. Layer Cheesecake: Spoon the prepared cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the cheesecake layer to set firmly.
  4. Prepare Strawberry Crunch: Mix the crushed vanilla cookies with the strawberry Jell-O powder and melted butter until combined well, forming the strawberry crunch coating mixture.
  5. Assemble Bites: Remove the chilled cheesecake from the refrigerator and crumble it into bite-sized pieces. Roll each cheesecake piece thoroughly in the strawberry crunch coating until fully covered. Arrange the coated bites on a lined tray and refrigerate for another hour to firm up further before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing for a smoother filling.
  • Use stiff peaks for the whipped cream to maintain the light texture in the filling.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when cutting or rolling the cheesecake bites.
  • These bites should be stored refrigerated and consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
  • Adding an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract can enhance the aroma and flavor of the cheesecake filling.
