Instructions

- Make Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla (or chosen flavor), and gel food coloring. Fold in whipped cream until fluffy.
- Assemble Bites: Spoon filling onto chilled crusts. Smooth tops or pipe for neat presentation.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.

Notes
- Crust Options: Use Oreos for a richer base or gluten-free cookies for dietary needs.
- Coloring Tip: Gel food coloring ensures vibrant pink without thinning the filling.

- Flavor Variations: Add strawberry puree, swirl in white chocolate, or use dairy-free cream cheese for vegan versions.
