Strawberry Cheesecake Cups

Ingredients

For the Biscuit Base

• 200 g digestive biscuits or graham crackers
• 80 g melted butter
• 1 tablespoon sugar

For the Cheesecake Cream

• 250 g cream cheese
• 200 ml heavy cream
• 80 g powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Strawberry Topping

• 300 g fresh strawberries, chopped
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

For Decoration

• Fresh strawberries
• Mint leaves
• Biscuit crumbs

Instructions

1. Make the biscuit base

Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs.

Mix with melted butter and sugar until the texture resembles wet sand.

Divide the mixture between 6 dessert cups and press lightly with a spoon.

2. Prepare the strawberry topping

Place the chopped strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan.

Cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, until the strawberries soften and release their juice.

Add the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Let it cool completely.

3. Make the cheesecake cream

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and lemon juice until smooth.

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and creamy.

4. Assemble the cups

Spoon the cheesecake cream over the biscuit base.

Add the cooled strawberry topping on top.

Smooth gently and decorate with fresh strawberries, mint leaves and a few biscuit crumbs.

5. Chill

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

This helps the cream firm up and makes the dessert taste even better.

Tips

For a richer flavor, add a little lemon zest to the cream.

You can replace strawberries with raspberries, blueberries, mango or mixed berries.

For a crunchier base, toast the biscuit crumbs lightly before mixing with butter.

Serve in clear glasses to show the beautiful layers.

Conclusion

These strawberry cheesecake cups are creamy, fruity and elegant without being complicated. The biscuit base adds crunch, the cheesecake filling is smooth and fresh, and the strawberry topping brings color and sweetness.

They are easy to make ahead and perfect for any occasion.
