How to Make No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Cups

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tbsp melted butter
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press 2 tbsp into each cup.
2. Whip the filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip the cream to stiff peaks, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.

Tips for the Best Cheesecake Cups

For foolproof success, keep these in mind:

• Use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
• Want a lighter texture? Substitute Greek yogurt for half the cream cheese.
• Short on time? Skip homemade crust and use pre-made cookie crumbs.

There you have it—a dessert that’s as easy to make as it is to love. These No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Cups are proof that sometimes the simplest things bring the most happiness.
