Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Servings: 16 cheesecake bites

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 10 plain graham crackers crushed
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt

For the filling:

  • 2 8 oz packages of plain cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon sour cream room temperature
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt

For the strawberry topping:

  • 10 fresh strawberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉
  • In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt.
  • In a lined 8 x 8 baking pan, lay the crust and pack until firm
  • Pre-bake crust for 8-10 minutes -- allowing to cool when taken out.
  • While the crust is in the oven, in a medium bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar and salt.
  • Once the crust is cooled, add in the cheesecake mixture.
  • For the strawberries, remove the steps and cut into quarters. In a small pot on the stovetop, cook them for about 10 minutes until the juices come out, squishing them along the way. Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer.
  • On top of the cheesecake mixture, drizzle the strawberry and gently swirl into ribbons.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature for 1 hour, then chill in the fridge for 4 hours before serving.
