In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and sugar, then press a small layer into molds or form a base for each bite.

⭐ Step 5: Shape the Bites
Scoop or roll the cheesecake mixture into small balls or bite-sized shapes. Place them on a tray.

⭐ Step 6: Chill
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm and easy to handle.

⭐ Step 7: Make the Crunch Coating
Mix crushed cookies, strawberry crumbs, and melted butter until crumbly.
