  • 1 1/4 cups Strawberries, Divided
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions 

  • Stir the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar together until evenly moistened. Divide the mixture among six dessert cups and press it into the bottoms.
  • Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Warm the mixture gently until the gelatin has completely dissolved, then set it aside briefly.

  • With the blender running on low, slowly add the dissolved gelatin. Continue blending for 20 seconds so it is evenly incorporated.

  • Top the cheesecake cups with the remaining strawberries just before serving.
