How to Create Perfect Cheesecake Crunch Bites

Perfect Base Formation

Pressing the graham mixture firmly creates a solid foundation that supports the filling.

Gentle Folding

Folding ingredients carefully maintains the light, airy texture of the filling.

Proper Chilling

Allowing sufficient refrigeration time ensures clean cuts and fully developed flavors.

Textural Balance

Layering soft filling between two crunchy elements creates perfect textural contrast.

Baking Tips

For best results, ensure cream cheese is completely softened to room temperature before mixing.

Strain strawberry puree to remove seeds for a smoother filling if desired.

Freeze the bites for 30 minutes before serving for cleaner cuts.

Try different fruit purees like raspberry or blueberry for variety.

Add a drop of red food coloring for a more vibrant pink color if desired.

Mini muffin tins can be used for perfectly portioned individual bites.

Place each bite in a paper cupcake liner for easy serving at parties.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 cups whipped topping

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

1/4 cup quick oats

Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly moistened.

Press two-thirds of the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Reserve remaining mixture for topping.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Fold in strawberry puree and lemon juice until fully incorporated.

Gently fold in whipped topping until mixture is uniform in color.

Spread cheesecake mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.

For the crunch topping, combine flour, brown sugar, cold butter cubes, and oats in a bowl. Use a fork or pastry cutter to create a crumbly mixture.

Sprinkle the crumb topping and remaining graham cracker mixture over the cheesecake layer.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firmly set.

Once set, lift from the pan using the parchment paper overhangs and place on a cutting board.

Cut into 24 square bites. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices if desired.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
