Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons butter , melted
4 ounces cream cheese , softened to room temp
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup fresh strawberries , roughly chopped
1 cup Cool Whip , thawed
mini chocolate chips , for topping

Instructions

Line a standard 12 slot muffin tin with paper liners.
In a small bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined and moist. Spoon mixture evenly into the paper liners; press with the back of a spoon so they’re packed.
Purée the chopped strawberries in a food processor (or mini blender) until completely smooth.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Blend in the sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup of the strawberry purée until incorporated (chill remaining purée until serving time.) Gently fold in the Cool Whip.
Spoon filling evenly into the muffin cups on top of the graham cracker crust.
Cover and freeze for at least 5 hours.
When ready to serve, carefully peel away the paper liners. Drizzle with a little strawberry purée and sprinkle with a few mini chocolate chips.

Notes

Frozen strawberries. When fresh strawberries aren't in season, you can use frozen in a pinch. Make sure they're thawed and patted completely dry before chopping.

Try a different berry. You could easily swap the strawberries for blackberries or raspberries, or any combination of berries.

Use real whipped cream. If you can't find Cool Whip or don't like it, you can use an equal amount of whipped cream. Beat it with a bit of sugar to stiff peaks before folding it in.
