Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp pink food coloring
1/2 cup whipped cream
Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Step 2: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish to form the crust.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and fluffy.
Step 5: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust.
Step 6: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Step 7: Once set, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with optional sprinkles before cutting into bite-sized squares.

Tips & Variations

Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the filling.
Substitute crushed vanilla wafers for graham crackers for a different crust taste.
Try natural beet juice or strawberry puree instead of food coloring for a natural pink hue.

Storage

Store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy, serve chilled or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for a softer bite. Do not freeze as the texture may change.

How to Serve

The image shows several small cheesecake cups arranged on a white square plate set on a white marbled surface. Each cheesecake has three clear layers: a crunchy brown crumb base at the bottom, a thick smooth pink cheesecake middle layer, and a generous swirl of soft white whipped cream on top. The whipped cream is decorated with a light dusting of pink sprinkles, adding a delicate touch. The cheesecakes are uniform in size, neatly spaced, and the focus on the closest one highlights the creamy textures and gentle colors. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of food coloring?

Yes, you can use any gel or liquid food coloring, but gel tends to provide a more vibrant color without altering the texture.

How do I make this recipe vegan or dairy-free?

Substitute the cream cheese and heavy cream with vegan alternatives like cashew-based cream cheese and coconut cream. Use a dairy-free butter for the crust as well.
