Using a tablespoon, place 2 tablespoons of the crushed cookie mixture inside each cupcake liner and gently press down with the bottom of a flat glass. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
Tips
In another mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powder sugar, vanilla, and lemon extract. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth. Set aside.
Using a whip attachment, whip the heavy whipping cream until it thickens. Fold it into the cream cheese mixture gently. This will take approximately 2- 3 minutes. Fold until you no longer see streaks of heavy whipping cream to make the creamiest cheesecake.
Fill the piping bag with the cheesecake mixture and pipe into each cupcake liner after removing the pan from the refrigerator. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator again. Chill for 4–5 hours.
Tips
After the mini strawberry cheesecake bites have chilled for 4–5 hours, on the top of each cheesecake place fresh strawberries and or strawberry syrup if preferred to finish up the most perfect dessert!

Common Questions About Making Cheesecake Bites
Look over these FAQs and discover all there is to know about cheesecake bites.
Do Cheesecake Bites Need to Be Refrigerated?
Absolutely! It’s essential to keep cheesecake bites chilled to ensure that they stay fresh and delicious. Cheesecake contains cream cheese and other dairy products, which can spoil quickly at room temperature. With that said, it’s best to store them in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy them.
Can Cheesecake Bites be Made Ahead of Time?
Yes, cheesecake bites can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer until you’re ready to serve them.
How Long Do Cheesecake Bites Last in the Freezer?
Cheesecake bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 2–3 months. It’s important to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn and maintain their freshness. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply remove them from the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight. This will help them maintain their texture and flavor.
How Do You Make Cheesecake Bites Without a Crust?
To make cheesecake bites without a crust, simply omit the crust ingredients and pour the filling directly into a muffin pan lined with paper liners.
Can You Make Cheesecake Bites with Different Flavors?
Yes, cheesecake bites can be made with a variety of flavors, such as chocolate, pumpkin, or caramel. Simply add the desired flavorings to the filling before baking. Additionally, you can add different toppings, such as fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips, to customize the flavor.
