Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Whipped cream (for topping, optional)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until thoroughly mixed. The mixture should resemble wet sand.

    Form the Base: Line a mini muffin tin with muffin liners. Press about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each liner to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to firmly pack it down. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

      Make the Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue beating until soft peaks form.

        Layer the Filling: Once the whipped cream is ready, take the muffin tin out of the fridge. Spoon a tablespoon of whipped cream onto each graham cracker base, smoothing the top.

          Add Strawberries: Top the whipped cream with sliced strawberries, gently pressing them into the cream. You can layer them as you like to create an appealing look.

            Finish It Off: If desired, add another small dollop of whipped cream on top of the strawberries for an extra touch and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

              Chill and Serve: Return the bites to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set further. Once ready, carefully peel the bites from the liners and serve chilled.
