Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Crust - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup.
  2. Step 2: Bake the Crust - Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
  3. Step 3: Make the Filling - Beat the cream cheese until creamy. Add sweetened condensed milk, mixing well. Add eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Step 4: Fill the Crusts - Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crusts, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Step 5: Bake the Cheesecakes - Bake for 15-20 minutes until set but slightly jiggly. Cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 4 hours.
  6. Step 6: Whip the Cream - Whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until soft peaks form.
  7. Step 7: Assemble and Serve - Remove cheesecakes from the muffin tin, top with whipped cream and a halved strawberry.
