To create the perfect Frozen Strawberry Cheesecake Coin Bites, achieving the right consistency starts with softened cream cheese. Softened cream cheese allows for easy mixing and a smooth, creamy texture that blends seamlessly with the other ingredients. To soften cream cheese, simply take it out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you start your recipe or microwave it in short intervals (about 10 seconds) until it is pliable but not melted. This step is crucial because it ensures your cheesecake filling will be smooth and creamy, enhancing the overall mouthfeel of your finished bites.

Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tbsp honey (optional for sweetness)

A pinch of salt

Miniature muffin liners (for easy serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: In a medium bowl, mash the chopped strawberries with a fork until chunky. Set aside.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.

      Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the mashed strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed but still retain some texture.

        Create the Crust: In another bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and honey (if using). Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.

          Assemble the Coin Bites: Line a mini muffin tin with the miniature muffin liners. Press about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each liner, creating a firm crust.

            Add the Filling: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture on top of the crusts in the liners, making sure to leave some space at the top for the bites to freeze properly.

              Freeze: Place the muffin tin in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the bites are frozen solid.

                Serve: Once frozen, remove the coin bites from the muffin tin and peel away the liners. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.

                  Enjoy your Treat: Enjoy these refreshing bites straight from the freezer!
