Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups honey graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheets, crushed finely)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • ½ cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries, rinsed
  • 1 cup diced kiwi
  • 1 cup diced mango or peaches
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, to drizzle over fruit)

Instructions

  1. Crush the honey graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Measure out 1 ½ cups of crumbs.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbs, melted butter, and honey. Stir until the mixture resembles damp sand and holds together when pressed.
  3. Divide the crumb mixture evenly among your serving cups, pressing firmly into the bottom to form a compact crust layer.
  4. Place the cups in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
  5. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to keep the airy texture intact.
  8. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crusts in each cup, smoothing the tops.
  9. Prepare the fruit salad by gently tossing all the diced fruit together in a bowl. Drizzle with a little honey if desired and stir lightly.
  10. Top each cheesecake cup with a generous layer of the fresh fruit salad.
  11. Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Chill crust before adding filling and chill assembled cups for at least 2 hours. For dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives. Press crust firmly and add more butter if crust doesn’t hold well.
