Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp pink food coloring
Topping
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until all ingredients are well combined, creating a moist mixture that will form the base of your cheesecake bites.
- Form the crust: Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish to create an even and solid base layer. This ensures the crust holds together after chilling.
- Beat the cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, which forms the creamy foundation of the filling.
- Add filling ingredients: To the cream cheese, add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring. Beat all together until the mixture is fully combined, smooth, and fluffy, achieving the characteristic pink velvet color and creamy texture.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the prepared filling evenly over the crust layer in the baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until it is completely set, allowing the filling to firm up for perfect sliceability.
- Add toppings and serve: Once the cheesecake has set, top it with whipped cream and optional sprinkles for decoration. Cut into bite-sized squares and serve chilled for a creamy, delightful treat.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for the best creamy texture and taste.
- For a firmer crust, you can chill the crust in the dish for 30 minutes before adding the filling.
- Pink food coloring can be adjusted to achieve your preferred shade of pink.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
