Cheesecake is my ultimate favorite dessert. It’s been my weakness since I was a kid. I like any kind of cheesecake be it gourmet, homemade or even from a DIY box kit. In fact, I have to say that the box stuff is pretty darn good if you make it right! That’s how these Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes were made and I’m not ashamed to admit it!
These Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes will be the hit of your next gathering or even just an every day family dessert. They’re super easy to make and do not require use of the oven – which is a huge bonus in the summer heat!
Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes
Prepping and making the cheesecake into cupcakes is simple, as easy as if you were making the actual cheesecake itself, instead of into cupcakes form.
Supplies:
- 1 boxed Cheesecake kit {plus ingredients called for}
- 2 six ct muffin pans or 1 twelve ct muffin pan
- 12 cupcake liners of your choice. You could go with a fun theme or just do plain Jane. They all taste the same!
- 6 strawberries – stems removed?and sliced in half lengthwise
Here are some pans and muffin tins I found on Amazon. I may make a small percentage of sales generated through these links but it won’t cost you anything extra.
2. Prepare the cheesecake crust as directed on the package. Using a large spoon, spoon mixture evenly into 12 cupcake liners, using a smaller spoon to flatten each out.
3. Prepare filling according to directions on box. Make sure you go the full 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer. The thicker the filling is, the better it will taste and hold up on the cupcake liners.
4. Spoon mixture evenly onto each layer of crust inside the liners.
Place a strawberry on top and chill for at least 1 hour.
5. Eat and enjoy!
I couldn’t begin to put reasoning behind it, but I swear these Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes are way better than if I were to make a whole cake and slice it into pieces. They’re simply amazing!
