Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz cream cheese
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup strawberry puree or jam
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers or golden Oreos
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (for crust)
- 1 cup crushed golden Oreos or vanilla wafers (for topping)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a mini muffin tin with parchment paper.
- For the crust, mix crushed graham crackers or Oreos with melted butter and press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree until combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and bake: for mini bites, bake for 20–25 minutes; for a larger pan, bake for 35–40 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
