Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture looks like wet sand.
2
Press about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture firmly into each cup of a mini muffin tin. Freeze for 10 minutes.
3
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
4
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined.
5
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
6
Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
7
Scoop the filling into a piping bag or zip-top bag and fill each muffin cup almost to the top.
8
Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9
Once chilled, gently run a knife around the edges to remove the bites, then add your desired toppings.
