Ingredients
  

8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream

½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and finely diced

½ cup (50 g) graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Additional fresh strawberries for topping

Fresh mint leaves for a decorative garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

    Whip the Cream: In another clean mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Whip the cream with a hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until the cream achieves stiff peaks.

      Combine Mixtures: Carefully introduce the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese until the two are fully blended, taking care to maintain the light and airy texture of the whipped cream.

        Incorporate Strawberries: Delicately stir in the diced strawberries, ensuring that they are evenly mixed throughout the cheesecake filling.

          Prepare the Crust: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted unsalted butter. Mix until all crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.

            Layer the Cups: In individual serving cups or glasses, add about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture to the bottom as the first layer. Next, spoon in approximately 1/4 cup of the cheesecake mixture on top. Repeat this layering process until the cups are nearly filled, finishing with a layer of the cheesecake mixture on top.

              Chill: Cover each cup securely with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours. This chilling time allows the cheesecake to set and firm up for the best texture.

                Serve: Once the cups are well-chilled, remove the plastic wrap. Top each cheesecake cup with additional fresh strawberries and garnish with a sprig of mint for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy your delightful Sweet Strawberry Bliss Cups!
