Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

16 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

Assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mango)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and is evenly blended.

    Form the Base: Take a tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture and spoon it into the bottom of each individual cup or serving glass. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press down firmly, ensuring a compact and level crust.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Gradually incorporate the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the blend is completely homogeneous and silky.

        Whip the Cream: In another clean mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful to retain the airiness of the whipped cream.

          Assemble the Cups: Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each cup with the cheesecake filling, layering it over the graham cracker crust. Smooth the surface of the filling with a spatula or the back of a spoon for a polished look.

            Chill: Cover the assembled cheesecake cups with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This allows the cheesecake to set properly and all the flavors to meld beautifully.

              Top with Fruit: Prior to serving, remove the cups from the fridge and generously top each cheesecake with an assortment of fresh fruits. Arrange them artistically for an eye-catching presentation. For an added touch of elegance, garnish with fresh mint leaves.

                Serve & Enjoy: Serve the cheesecake fruit cups chilled and indulge in this delightful, refreshing no-bake dessert!
