Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 8 drops blue food coloring
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your mini muffin tin by lining it with mini cupcake liners for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.
Step 3
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each liner, pressing it firmly into the bottom to create a solid crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a small glass. Chill the tray in the freezer for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture a little at a time, ensuring a light and airy texture.
Step 7
Set aside 1/4 of the cheesecake filling in a small bowl. Add the blue food coloring to this portion and gently mix to achieve a bright blue shade.
Step 8
Spoon the plain cheesecake filling over each crust, filling each liner about 2/3 full. Then add small dollops of the blue filling on top of the plain layer.
Step 9
Using a toothpick or skewer, swirl the blue filling into the white to create a marbled, glacier-inspired effect.
Step 10
Optional: Sprinkle white chocolate chips on top of each cheesecake bite for extra decoration.
Step 11
Chill the cheesecake bites in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For faster results, you can freeze them for about 2 hours, but serve them slightly thawed for the best texture.
Step 12
Carefully remove the cheesecake bites from the liners and serve chilled. Enjoy the beautiful and delicious Glacier Cheesecake Bites!
