Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs crushed
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
For the Filling:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream (can use Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • 9-inch square baking pan
  • Plastic wrap
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and softened butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until the filling is creamy and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Spread the cheesecake filling over the crust in the baking pan, smoothing it out evenly. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  5. Once set, remove the cheesecake from the pan and cut it into bite-sized squares. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Consider freezing the bites for longer storage; wrap individually in plastic wrap.
  • Thaw frozen bites in the refrigerator before serving for the best texture.
