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 graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated and crumbly but holds together.
- Form the crust base: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, free of lumps.
- Make the filling: Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring to the cream cheese. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is fully combined, fluffy, and smooth.
- Assemble cheesecake layer: Spread the pink cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
- Add toppings and serve: Once set, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with optional sprinkles for decoration. Cut into bite-sized squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
- You can use gel or liquid pink food coloring according to your preference for vibrant color.
- To speed up setting, chill the dessert overnight.
- Sprinkles are optional but add a fun and festive touch.
- Store leftover cheesecake bites covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
