Ingredients

  • 1 cup granola (or digestive biscuits, crushed)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Extra strawberries for garnish

How to Make Strawberry Cream Cups

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the granola (or crushed biscuits) with 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix until the granola is evenly coated.
  2. Divide the granola mixture evenly among 4 serving cups, pressing it firmly to create a base. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the heavy whipping cream, the remaining honey, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat on medium speed until the mixture forms soft peaks.
  5. Carefully spoon or pipe the cream mixture over the granola bases in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Top each cup with sliced strawberries, arranging them beautifully over the cream layer.
  7. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to firm up.
  8. Serve chilled, garnished with extra strawberries if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Don’t overbeat the cream; stop once you see soft peaks for the best texture.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the cream mixture.
  • If using sweetened granola, adjust the honey in the cream mixture to avoid excessive sweetness.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out strawberries for other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or diced peaches for a seasonal twist.
  • Use flavored yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter option.
  • For a chocolate version, fold in some cocoa powder or melted chocolate into the cream mixture.

What to Serve With It

  • A refreshing glass of iced tea or lemonade.
  • A light salad for a balanced meal.
  • Dark chocolate shavings or a drizzle for an extra indulgent touch.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Storage and Reheating

These no-bake strawberry cream cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep them covered to maintain freshness. They are best enjoyed cold, so no reheating is necessary.
