1 cup Heavy Cream, cold
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (Optional)
2 cups Fresh Strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (for strawberries, optional)

Instructions
- Prepare your muffin tin by lining a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Pour in melted butter and stir until moist
- Divide the crumb mixture among the muffin liners and press down to form crusts. Chill in the refrigerator
- Whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form and set aside
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar and mix well. Stir in vanilla and lemon juice
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently until combined
- Spoon or pipe the filling into the crusts, filling almost to the top and smooth the surface
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set
- Prepare the strawberry topping by tossing hulled and sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons sugar and let sit
- Once set, remove cheesecake cups from the muffin tin and top with strawberries before serving
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese at room temperature for the best texture.
Let the cheesecake cups chill for the required time to set properly.
