Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 16 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- Fruit preserves or fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup. Press firmly to create an even crust layer. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
Blend in the sour cream until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly over the prepared crusts, filling each muffin cup nearly to the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are just set and slightly jiggle when shaken.
Remove from the oven and let the cheesecakes cool in the muffin tin for 30 minutes. Then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, top each miniature cheesecake with a small dollop of fruit preserves or a slice of fresh fruit, if desired.
