Ingredients
Scale
- 120g (about 1 cup) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
- 60g (4 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
- 250g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 100g (½ cup) powdered sugar, sifted
- 120ml (½ cup) heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150g (about 1 cup) fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
- 150g (5 oz) dark chocolate (70% cocoa recommended)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuit Base (10 minutes): Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. Combine with melted butter until mixture resembles wet sand. Divide evenly into dessert cups, pressing firmly to create a compact base. Refrigerate.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling (15 minutes): Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Fold in chopped strawberries.
- Assemble the Cups (5 minutes): Spoon or pipe cheesecake filling over chilled biscuit bases, smoothing the surface. Chill in fridge for at least 1 hour, preferably up to 4 hours.
- Melt the Chocolate Dip (5 minutes): Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Dip and Decorate (10 minutes): Dip rims or tops of cheesecake cups into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on cooling rack to set. Garnish with sliced strawberry or mint leaf.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airy texture. Press biscuit base firmly to prevent crumbling. Chill longer for better texture. Stir chocolate often when melting to avoid burning. Coconut oil or butter in chocolate dip adds shine and smoothness. Can substitute gluten-free biscuits and dairy-free ingredients as needed.
