How to Make It

Follow these easy steps to create your delicious cheesecake bites.

Crush

Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter and sugar until fully combined.

Press

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the biscuit mixture into each mini muffin cup or silicone mold. Press down firmly to create an even, compact base. Set aside.

Beat

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Whip

In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Fold

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until just combined and light and airy.

Spoon

Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in each mold, filling to just below the rim. Smooth the tops.

Chill

Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to set properly.

Serve

Just before serving, top each cheesecake bite with a fresh strawberry slice or a small whole strawberry and a mint leaf, if using.
