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 thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press crust into dish: Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish, creating an even and compact layer.
- Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer for best results.
- Make the filling: Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring to the cream cheese. Beat the mixture until light, fluffy, and well combined with a uniform pink color.
- Assemble cheesecake bites: Spread the creamy cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Chill to set: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until the cheesecake filling is firm and set.
- Add toppings: Just before serving, top the cheesecake bites with whipped cream and optionally sprinkle colorful sprinkles for a festive touch.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when serving.
- Chilling time can be extended overnight for best results and easier slicing.
- Pink food coloring can be adjusted depending on your desired shade.
- These cheesecake bites are best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days.
