FAQ:
Q: Can I use fresh strawberries instead of freeze-dried strawberries?
A: Freeze-dried strawberries work best for the crunch topping because they maintain their texture when crushed. Fresh strawberries will not give the same crunch but can be used as a garnish or mixed into the cheesecake filling for added flavor.

Q: How can I make these bites gluten-free?
A: To make these cheesecake bites gluten-free, simply use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs for the crust. Most other ingredients in the recipe are naturally gluten-free.

Q: Can I make the cheesecake bites ahead of time?
A: Yes, these bites can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight. In fact, they taste even better when they’ve had time to chill and set.
