Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Graham Cracker Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tbsp granulated sugar

For the Fruit Topping:

1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust:

    - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand.

      - Evenly distribute about 1 tablespoon of this mixture into the bottom of each mini dessert cup. Press down gently with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a firm base. Set the cups aside to prepare the filling.

        Make the Cheesecake Filling:

          - In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it's creamy and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.

            - Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.

              - In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (the cream should hold its shape).

                - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in stages, being careful to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream. Mix until well combined but do not overmix.

                  Assemble the Mini Cheesecakes:

                    - Using a piping bag or a spoon, carefully spoon the cheesecake filling into each mini cup, layering it over the prepared graham cracker crust. Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of the spoon for an even appearance.

                      - Cover the filled cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the cheesecake to set.

                        Prepare the Fruit Topping:

                          - In a mixing bowl, lightly toss the mixed berries with honey or maple syrup if you prefer a touch of sweetness and to enhance the fruit flavors.

                            - Once the cheesecake cups are adequately set, remove them from the refrigerator and generously top each one with the berry mixture. You can arrange the berries creatively for a pleasing visual presentation!

                              Garnish and Serve:

                                - For a vibrant finishing touch, garnish each mini cheesecake cup with fresh mint leaves, adding color and a refreshing aroma.

                                  - Serve immediately for the best texture, or keep them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to enjoy.
