Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp pink food coloring
Topping
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and evenly moist.
- Form the crust base: Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish, creating a compact base layer for the cheesecake bites.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy, removing any lumps.
- Add sweeteners and color: To the cream cheese, add powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring. Beat the mixture until fully incorporated, light, and fluffy.
- Assemble the cheesecake layer: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust in the baking dish, smoothing the surface.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
- Add toppings and serve: Once the cheesecake is set, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with optional sprinkles. Cut into bite-sized squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
- Use high-quality pink food coloring for vibrant color without altering the flavor.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results and firmer bites.
- Optional sprinkles add a festive touch but can be omitted for a simple presentation.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
