Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spoon or Piping Bag

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cups dark brown sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cups powdered sugar
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the Topping

  • 0.5 cups strawberry jam
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream for whipped topping
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries (optional) fresh slices for garnish
  • 0.25 cups dark chocolate (optional) chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Cups

  • Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and dark brown sugar until crumbly. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of this mixture into each cup, creating a tasty base.
  • Whip the cream: Beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until it thickens and forms stiff peaks, which should take around 4 minutes. Set this fluffy goodness aside in the fridge for later.
  • Blend the filling: In another bowl, combine the cream cheese and granulated sugar. Mix on medium speed until you achieve a smooth consistency, which takes about 3 minutes.
  • Add flavor components: Incorporate the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture. Mix gently until all ingredients are just combined.
  • Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful to keep that light, airy texture.
  • Layer the filling: Use a spoon or piping bag to add 1/6 of the filling into each cup, creating neat layers that are simply irresistible.
  • Chill the cups: Refrigerate for 4-6 hours or, if you can wait, let them set overnight for the best results.
  • Add the fruity layer: Once set, spoon about 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam on top of each jar for a burst of fruity goodness.
  • Whip the topping: Beat another portion of heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until it thickens and holds stiff peaks, which takes another 4 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  • Finish with flair: Pipe the whipped cream onto each cheesecake cup and top with fresh strawberry slices and chopped dark chocolate if desired for that extra touch of elegance.
