Instructions

  1. To begin, take a heavy saucepan and combine half of the diced strawberries with the lemon juice over medium-high heat. Allow the mixture to cook for about 5-6 minutes until the strawberries burst and release their delicious juices.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir this mixture into the bubbling strawberry mixture. Add the remaining diced strawberries and continue cooking for 2 minutes or until the filling thickens.
  3. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners. Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the sugar, and stir in the melted butter.
  4. Divide the graham cracker mixture among the prepared liners and press it firmly into the base.
  5. Mix together the flour, sugar, and a dash of salt for the streusel topping. Pour in the melted butter and stir until crumb-like.
  6. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the beaten egg and mix until combined.
  7. Spoon the cheesecake filling into each lined crust, filling them halfway, and top with the cooled strawberry mixture.
  8. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until set. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Ensure to use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling; adjust sugar levels based on the sweetness of the strawberries.
