Strawberry Cheesecake Bites

I love cheesecake – who doesn’t? The crumbly, buttery digestive base and thick, creamy topping is enough to make anyone’s knees go weak. But even though this dessert is so divine, it’s a bit too rich and calorie-packed to eat every day.

These strawberry cheesecake bites are a great alternative to a slice of cheesecake and taste just as good – without the guilt. In some aspects, they're even better than a cheesecake - there is no baking or refrigeration needed, so you can fulfil that cheesecake craving in only a couple of minutes.

This is a really versatile recipe and can easily be doubled or even tripled for parties. You can experiment with different cheesecake fillings – try a decadent chocolate filling or wrap the whole thing up with a strawberry filling!

1. Chop the top off each strawberry and scoop the centre out so you’re left with a bowl shape.

3. Take around 2 digestives and crush them using a food processor or by placing them inside a plastic bag and bashing them with a rolling pin.

4. Dip the open top of the filled strawberries into the crushed digestives.
