Ingredients

• For the crust:
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• For the cheesecake filling:
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the strawberry topping:
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 1/4 cup strawberry jam
• For garnish:
• 1 cup whipped cream

Preparation Method

Prepare the crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated and resembles wet sand. Spoon the crust mixture into cupcake liners placed in a muffin tin, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to form an even base.

Make the cheesecake filling:
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be light and fluffy with no lumps. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each liner, spreading it evenly.

Chill:
Place the cheesecake cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set. This step ensures the cheesecake becomes firm and holds its shape.

Prepare the strawberry topping:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the strawberry jam until it melts and becomes runny. Remove from heat and gently stir in the sliced strawberries, coating them in the jam. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before assembling.

Assemble:
Once the cheesecake cups have chilled, spoon the strawberry topping over each one, letting the vibrant red mixture cover the creamy layer. Top each cheesecake cup with a generous swirl of whipped cream for the perfect finishing touch.

Serve and enjoy:
These cheesecake cups are ready to serve immediately or can be stored in the fridge until you’re ready to indulge. They taste even better when chilled longer, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
