These Mini Cheesecakes with Chocolate Covered Strawberries are a delightful treat combining a creamy, rich cheesecake base with a crunchy graham cracker crust, topped with fresh strawberries dipped in luscious melted chocolate. Perfect for parties or a special dessert, they’re simple to make and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Topping

  • 12 strawberries
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the mini cheesecakes.
  2. Prepare Crust Mixture: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press Crust into Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute and firmly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each muffin tin cup to form the crust base.
  4. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add Sour Cream and Heavy Cream: Blend in the sour cream and heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in each muffin cup, filling almost to the top.
  7. Bake Cheesecakes: Bake the mini cheesecakes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center, then remove and allow them to cool completely.
  8. Melt Chocolate Chips: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in short intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
  9. Dip Strawberries: Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating well, then place them on top of the cooled mini cheesecakes as a decorative and flavorful topping.
  10. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the assembled mini cheesecakes for at least 2 hours to set fully and chill before serving to enjoy the perfect texture and flavor combination.

Notes

  • Be sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth cheesecake filling.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when eating.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and appearance.
  • Chill time is essential for the cheesecake to set properly; do not skip refrigeration.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with white or dark chocolate according to preference.
