Description

These delightful mini cheesecakes combine creamy cheese with a buttery crust, perfect for sharing joy and creating memories.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set it to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottoms of mini muffin tins.
  3. Mix the Filling: Beat the cream cheese until creamy, then gradually mix in sugar and eggs. Fold in sour cream and any flavorings.
  4. Pour and Bake: Spoon filling over crusts until just below the rim and bake for about 20 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.
  5. Cool and Chill: Let cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Release from the tin and garnish with berries, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream.

Notes

Opt for low-fat cream cheese to reduce calorie count. Fresh fruits can be added for nutrients and natural sweetness.
