Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Fresh berries or chocolate sauce (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of each paper liner to form the crust. Chill the crusts in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fully combined. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crusts in the muffin tin.
- Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, top each mini cheesecake cup with fresh berries or your choice of topping.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute vanilla wafers for graham crackers in the crust mixture.
- If you want a firmer texture, chill the cheesecakes overnight.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps in the filling.
