Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop. Make sure you have 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup of fresh strawberries (chopped), and 1/4 cup of crushed graham crackers.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will serve as the base for your cheesecake bites.
- Add the honey and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and yogurt mixture. Continue to mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is sweetened to your liking.
- Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries into the cheesecake mixture. Make sure to distribute the strawberries evenly throughout the mixture for a burst of flavor in each bite.
- Prepare a mini muffin tin by lining it with mini cupcake liners or lightly greasing it with a non-stick spray. This will help in easily removing the cheesecake bites once they are set.
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup with the cheesecake mixture, packing it down slightly to ensure it holds its shape.
- Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers evenly over the top of each filled muffin cup. This will give your cheesecake bites a delightful crunch and enhance the cheesecake flavor.
- Once all the cups are filled and topped, place the muffin tin in the refrigerator. Allow the cheesecake bites to chill for at least 2 hours to set properly.
- After chilling, carefully remove the cheesecake bites from the muffin tin. Serve them chilled as a refreshing and healthy dessert or snack.
- Enjoy your High Protein Healthy Strawberry Cheesecake Bites with friends and family!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature for the smoothest, creamiest texture possible.
- Fresh is Best: Use ripe, in-season strawberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- Graham Cracker Hack: For extra crunch, try toasting the graham cracker crumbs lightly in a dry pan before sprinkling on top.
- Portion Perfection: Use a small ice cream scoop or piping bag for uniform, Instagram-worthy cheesecake bites.
- Chill Time is Crucial: Don't rush the refrigeration process - a minimum of 2 hours ensures the perfect set and flavor melding.
- Storage Tip: These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making them a great make-ahead treat.
- Customize Your Bite: Feel free to experiment with different toppings like a drizzle of dark chocolate or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
