Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz (1 package, softened) Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 12 pre-made shells Mini graham cracker crusts
- Fresh fruit or whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with 12 mini graham cracker crust shells or place the shells on a baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the bowl. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into the 12 mini graham cracker crusts, filling them almost to the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking to maintain a smooth and creamy texture.
Remove the cheesecake minis from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature in the pan or on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake minis for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps them set completely and enhances the flavor.
Top each cheesecake with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings before serving, if desired. Enjoy these fluffy, bite-sized treats!
