Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Electric Mixer
  • 1 piping bag optional

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream whipped

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and resemble wet sand. Divide the mixture evenly among the shooter glasses, pressing down to form a firm base.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the filling is light and fluffy.
  • Using a piping bag or spoon, add the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in each glass. Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Refrigerate the assembled shooters for at least two hours, allowing the filling to set properly.
  • Garnish the chilled shooters with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or nuts, just before serving.
  • Store any leftover shooters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings to suit the occasion or your personal taste preferences.
