Ingredients

For the graham cracker crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs from 1 sleeve of graham crackers
3 tablespoons butter melted
1 teaspoon sugar

For the strawberry cheesecake mousse:

2 cups fresh strawberries stems removed
1 cup heavy whipping cream
16 ounces of cream cheese
⅔ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
additional chopped strawberries for garnish

Instructions

For the graham cracker crust:

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar, and stir well to combine.
Press into the bottom of mini mason jars.

To make the strawberry mousse:

Place strawberries in a blender and puree until very few chunks remain.
In a bowl with electric mixer, beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a separate bowl with electric mixer, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Slowly add strawberry puree, beating until well combined.
Add vanilla, and beat until combined.
Fold in whipped cream.
Evenly distribute the strawberry cheesecake mousse between serving cups.
Top with strawberries and additional graham cracker crumbs.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use Softened Cream Cheese - be sure you set out your cream cheese for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before using it. This will ensure that the cream cheese does not get lumpy.
