Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen (thawed and drained if using frozen)

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Fresh strawberries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

      Form the Crust:

        - Spoon the crust mixture into mini muffin tins (or silicone molds) and press down firmly with a spoon or your fingers to create an even layer. Make sure to pack it tightly for structure. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.

          Make the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

            - In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if needed.

              Fill the Crusts:

                - Once the crusts have firmed up in the freezer, remove them from the freezer and fill each crust with the strawberry cheesecake filling. Use a spatula to smooth the top and create a clean finish.

                  Freeze:

                    - Place the filled muffin tin back in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is completely set.

                      Serve:

                        - Once frozen, gently pop the cheesecake bites out of the molds. Garnish with fresh strawberries and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the frosty delight!
