RECIPE FOR STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE BITES RECIPES

Steps:

• Using small apple corer or sharp paring knife, carefully remove hulls from strawberries. Cut small portion off bottom of each strawberry so it will stand. Invert strawberries onto paper towel to drain.
• Into small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla with electric mixer or whisk until well combined.
• Transfer cheese mixture to decorating bag. Or spoon mixture into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and cut small hole in one bottom corner. Sprinkle tops of filled strawberries with graham cracker crumbs.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with heavy-duty foil or parchment paper, leaving 1 inch of foil hanging over edges of pan; set aside. For Shortbread Crust, in a medium bowl combine crushed cookies and 1 Tbsp. sugar. Stir in melted butter until combined. Press mixture into the bottom of prepared pan.
• For Filling, in a very large bowl beat the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until fluffy. Beat in flour until combined. Add eggs and vanilla; beat on low speed until just combined. Stir in sour cream. Pour filling in crust-lined pan. Bake for 40 minutes.
• For Sour Cream Honey Topper, in a medium bowl stir together sour cream, honey, and vanilla. Remove cheesecake from oven. Spread mixture over hot cheesecake. Bake for 10 minutes more. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 1 hour. Cover; chill at least 4 hours.
• Use foil to lift uncut bars from pan. Cut into 54 bites. Top each square with a strawberry slice. If desired, drizzle with additional honey.
