Follow these simple steps to create your delicious strawberry cheesecake bites:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until well mixed and press the mixture into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool completely.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. This step always reminds me of the time I tried to mimic my grandmother’s cheesecake recipe and ended up creating a new family favorite!
4. Incorporate the diced strawberries and strawberry jam into the cream cheese mixture, folding gently to combine.
5. Once the graham cracker base has cooled, break it into small pieces and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture, along with the whipped cream, until evenly distributed.
6. Spoon the mixture into mini cupcake liners or silicone molds, pressing gently to compact. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7. Remove the bites from the molds and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, crunchy, and fruity goodness!
