Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand. Evenly distribute this mixture into the bottoms of serving cups or jars, pressing down gently to create an even layer. Put the cups in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

    Make the cheesecake mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and silky.

      Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This will give your cheesecake a light and airy texture. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

        Layer the cheesecake: Remove the cups from the refrigerator. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture on top of the graham cracker crust in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.

          Add the berry topping: Top each cheesecake cup with a generous amount of fresh berries. You can either mix the berries together or use one type for each cup for a beautiful presentation.

            Chill: Place the filled cups back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake to set properly.

              Serve: Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy the creamy goodness!
