## **Instructions**

### **1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling**
1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened **cream cheese** with the **powdered sugar** and **vanilla extract** until smooth and creamy.
2. Gently fold in the **whipped topping** until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
3. Chill the filling in the refrigerator for about **30 minutes** to allow it to firm up.

### **2. Make the Crunch Coating**
1. In a separate bowl, combine the **crushed graham crackers**, **crushed cornflakes**, **sugar**, and **melted butter**. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
2. The mixture should be **crumbly and slightly moist** from the melted butter. This will create the perfect crunchy texture once the cheesecake bites are coated.

### **3. Form the Cheesecake Bites**
1. Using a spoon or small scoop, scoop out **tablespoon-sized portions** of the chilled cheesecake filling. Roll them into small balls.
2. Carefully roll each cheesecake ball in the **crunch coating mixture**, making sure it’s evenly coated on all sides. Press lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
3. Place each coated cheesecake bite onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.

### **4. Chill & Set**
1. After all the cheesecake bites are formed and coated, refrigerate them for at least **2 hours** (or overnight if possible) to set the shape and allow the flavors to meld.
2. This will also help the coating firm up and create that delightful crunch when you bite into them.

### **5. Garnish & Serve**
1. Before serving, garnish each cheesecake bite with a **slice of fresh strawberry** on top or drizzle with **strawberry sauce** or **jam** for extra flavor.
2. Serve these little bites chilled for a refreshing treat!
