Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs Crushed graham crackers
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
For the filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese Room temperature
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
Toppings
  • Fresh berries Strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • Chocolate sauce For drizzling
  • Caramel sauce For drizzling
  • Fruit jam Optional for extra flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C), and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or spray with pan spray.
  2. Make the crust by crushing about 1 cup of graham crackers into fine crumbs, mix with 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
  3. Press a small spoonful of the crust mixture into the bottom of each mini cup.
  4. In a bowl, beat 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Add 1/3 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, beat until creamy.
  6. Add one egg, and mix until just combined.
  7. Spoon about a tablespoon of filling over each crust, filling cups almost to the top.
  8. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, until edges are set and centers still jiggle a little.
  2. Let cool on a rack for 30 minutes.
Chilling
  1. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before removing from the tin.
  2. Top with fresh berries, jam, or chocolate before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Press the crust firmly into the cups so it holds when you serve. Do not overbake, the centers should still jiggle a little when you take them out. Chill well before serving as cold cheesecake holds shape and tastes best.
