Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp salted butter, melted

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Optional Toppings

  • Raspberries
  • Strawberries
  • Whipped cream
  • Broken cookies
  • Extra graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs until well combined. Divide about 2-3 tablespoons of this mixture into the bottom of each glass or serving dish, pressing lightly to create an even crust base.
  2. Whip the cream: In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, which usually takes about one minute. Be careful not to overwhip.
  3. Make the cream cheese mixture: Transfer the whipped cream to a separate bowl. In the original bowl, combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and pure vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy without any lumps.
  4. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Stir carefully until fully combined, maintaining the light and airy texture.
  5. Assemble the cups: Spoon the combined filling into a piping bag for neat presentation or simply spoon it evenly into the prepared cups over the crust layer.
  6. Add toppings and chill: Garnish each cup with your choice of fresh fruit, whipped cream, broken cookies, or extra graham cracker crumbs for added texture and flavor. Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least one hour to set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • If you don’t have a stand mixer, use a hand mixer or whisk the whipped cream vigorously by hand, though it may take longer.
  • These cheesecake cups can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Feel free to customize toppings to your liking, including chocolate shavings or caramel drizzle.
  • Use gluten-free graham crackers to make this dessert gluten-free.
