Ingredients
-
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 crackers)
-
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
2 tbsp granulated sugar
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream
-
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
-
1/2 cup fresh kiwi, peeled and chopped
-
Optional toppings: extra whipped cream, crushed graham crackers, mint leaves
Instructions
-
Make the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined like wet sand. Spoon into small cups and press down gently.
-
Whip the cream: In a cold bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
-
Make cheesecake filling: In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fluffy. Fold in whipped cream gently.
-
Assemble: Spoon or pipe cheesecake filling over crust in each cup.
-
Top with fruit: Add chopped strawberries and kiwi on top. Garnish with optional toppings.
-
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
-
These cups are great for make-ahead and can be chilled up to 2 days in advance.
-
Don’t skip the chilling—it helps set the filling!
-
You can swap out strawberries or kiwi for other seasonal fruits like mango or blueberries.
-
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cream cheese and whipped topping.
