Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

4 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipped cream or whipped topping

1/4 cup fresh mixed berries (choose from strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with a pinch of sea salt, stirring thoroughly to ensure an even distribution. Set this mixture aside for later use.

    In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency with no lumps. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until everything is well incorporated and fluffy.

      Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be gentle as you do this to maintain the light and airy texture of the whipped cream, which will help the bites be fluffy.

        Take a spoonful of the graham cracker crumb mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of mini silicone molds or a muffin tin lined with paper liners. This will form a solid base layer for your cheesecake bites.

          Once the bases are created, spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crumb layer in each mold, filling them all the way to the top.

            Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or a spatula for a polished look, and finally, place a few fresh berries on top of each bite for a burst of color and flavor.

              Cover the molds with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, allowing the bites to set up firmly.

                Once they are chilled and set, gently pop the cheesecake bites out of the molds. Be careful not to break them! Position them beautifully on a serving platter.
