how to make No Bake Mini Cheesecakes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• Pinch of table salt
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
• 4 ounces (1/2 block) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature (do not use fat-free)
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Strawberry sauce and blueberries, for serving

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt until combined.
2. Line a muffin pan with 6 paper liners. Press about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each liner. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
3. In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer with whisk attachment), beat the heavy cream on high speed until thick and stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and keep it cold in the refrigerator.
5. In the same mixing bowl (no need to clean it), beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Scrape down the bowl, then gently fold in the whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
7. Divide the filling evenly among the paper liners. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
8. Serve topped with strawberry sauce and blueberries. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
