Ingredients
Scale

- 3 tablespoons (43 grams) real seal® unsalted butter, melted
- 12 ounces (340 grams) real seal® cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (140 grams) seedless strawberry preserves

- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup real seal® heavy cream
- 12 small strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 12-cup mini cheesecake pan by lightly greasing it with nonstick spray.
- In a food processor, finely grind the graham crackers. Add melted butter and blend until the mixture is moistened.
- Evenly distribute the graham cracker mixture into the cheesecake pan, about a tablespoon per cavity. Press down firmly with a small object to form the crusts.
- Bake the crusts for 5 minutes until fragrant, then remove from the oven and lower the temperature to 325°F.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling.
You can decorate the cheesecakes with fresh strawberries or chocolate drizzle for an extra touch.
