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 the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly moistened.
- Form the crust layer: Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish to create a solid base for the cheesecake.
- Beat the cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Mix the filling: Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring to the cream cheese. Beat the mixture until fully combined and fluffy, creating a smooth pink cheesecake filling.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the pink cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill the cheesecake: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and set to the touch.
- Add toppings and serve: Once the cheesecake is set, top it with whipped cream and add sprinkles if desired. Cut into bite-sized squares before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream to achieve a rich and creamy texture.
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
- The cheesecake bites must be refrigerated for at least 4 hours to allow proper setting.
- Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant pink hue without affecting the consistency.
- Sprinkles are optional but add a fun decorative touch perfect for celebrations.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
