How to Make this Strawberry Cheesecake Cups

Step 1: Make the Graham Cracker Crumble

In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt (or heavy cream), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

Step 3: Sweeten the Strawberries (Optional)

If your strawberries aren’t very sweet, toss them with 1 tbsp honey or sugar and let sit for 5 minutes to release juices.

Divide the graham cracker crumble evenly among small dessert cups or glasses. Spoon a layer of cheesecake filling over the crumbs, smoothing it out with a spoon.

Top with diced strawberries and an extra sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for crunch.
