Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 12 graham crackers crumbled to make about 1 ½ cups of crumbs
- 6 Tbsp of butter
- ¼ C powdered sugar
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 2 eggs large, room temperature
- ⅔ C sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
For the Crust
- Blend graham crackers in a food processor to create the crumbs to use for the crust.
- Melt the butter.
- Add melted butter to the crumbs and blend.
- Add powdered sugar to the crumb mixture and blend it all together. Mixture will be moist and easy to form into a crust.
- Line a mini muffin tin with paper cups and drop about 1 tablespoon worth of the graham cracker mixture into each cup.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of each cup to form the crust.
For the Filling
- In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese and sugar together. Add the vanilla extract and blend again until combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time and blend well.
- Fill the cups evenly with the cheesecake batter, approximately 1 tablespoons worth of mixture for each cup.
- Bake cheesecakes for 18-20 minutes, until there is only a slight jiggle in the center of each cup.
- Let cool completely and then place them in the fridge for about 4 hours to set, or allow them to set overnight.
- Once cooled and set, add toppings of choice and enjoy!
Notes
Notes: Make sure your cream cheese and eggs are both room temperature. This can really ensure a creamy cheesecake with no lumps. You will need to take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator an hour before you begin making the filling. The eggs will reach room temperature after about 30 minutes.
Optional Toppings: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, jam, cherries, chocolate, peppermint, or your favorite!
