Instructions
Line 10 cups of a standard muffin tin with paper or parchment liners.
Crush graham crackers (about 10-12 sheets) until finely ground, or grind cookie crumbs until finely ground. Combine with sugar (if using), and melted butter until well coated. Add about 1 heaping tablespoon to the bottom of each paper-lined muffin cup and press gently in place with a spoon or tamper. Set aside.
Beat heavy whipping cream until frothy, then gradually add the powdered sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. If using ready made whipped topping, you can skip this step. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat the room temperature cream cheese and vanilla extract until light. Fold in the whipped cream and food coloring if using (a drop or two of gel food coloring is all you need). Finally, fold in the chopped strawberries.
Using a scoop, transfer mounds of the filling into the prepared muffin cups. Spread evenly and freeze for 30 minutes.
When ready to serve, top each mini cheesecake with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a halved fresh strawberry.
Notes
Storing: It's best to store these mini strawberry cheesecakes (without their toppings) in an airtight container in the freezer. As they keep for up to 3 months, they're perfect for making ahead for special occasions.
