Learn how to make delicious Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cups. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering everything you need for these cups is as easy as a walk down memory lane. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (for topping)

If you don’t have freeze-dried strawberries, you can substitute with extra fresh strawberries and add a bit more flour to balance the moisture.

Instructions

Let’s dive into creating these delightful cups with a step-by-step guide:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.
  3. Press about a tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup. Press firmly to form a crust.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined.
  5. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crusts, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set and just slightly jiggly.
  8. While the cheesecake cups are baking, prepare the strawberry crunch topping. In a small bowl, mix the chopped strawberries, freeze-dried strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter until crumbly.
  9. Once the cheesecake cups have finished baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the strawberry crunch mixture on top of each cup.
  10. Return the cups to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to set the topping.
  11. Allow the cheesecake cups to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or refrigerating.
