Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

1 cup crushed graham crackers (about 8 full crackers)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (for drizzle)

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Strawberries: Begin by washing the fresh strawberries under cool water. Remove the green tops (hull) and slice each strawberry in half. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside for later use.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Using an electric mixer set to medium speed, mix the ingredients until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency, making sure there are no lumps left in the mixture.

      Prepare the Crust Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted unsalted butter. Stir until the cracker crumbs are completely coated in butter and the mixture resembles wet sand.

        Assemble the Bites: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners to simplify removal later, or lightly grease each cup with butter or cooking spray. Take about a tablespoon of the crumb mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup, creating a solid base for the cheesecake filling.

          Add the Cheesecake Filling: Spoon the prepared cheesecake filling on top of the crust in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for the strawberries.

            Top with Strawberries: Gently place a half strawberry, cut side down, on top of each cheesecake bite, pressing it lightly into the filling for a secure fit.

              Freeze: Carefully transfer the muffin tin to the freezer and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.

                Add Chocolate Drizzle: Once frozen, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Using a fork or a piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over each frozen cheesecake bite for a delicious finishing touch.

                  Serve: To remove the bites, peel away the paper liners or gently pop them out of the muffin tin. Serve them immediately for the best flavor and texture, or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. If you like, garnish each bite with a fresh mint leaf for an elegant touch.

                      - Presentation Tips: Arrange the cheesecake bites on a decorative platter and sprinkle some extra crushed graham crackers around the plate for visual contrast. Garnish with mint leaves for a refreshing pop of color. Enjoy!
