Make these creamy, bite-sized mini cheesecakes without turning on your oven. This simple recipe uses a graham cracker crust and results in perfect individual desserts for any party or sweet craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, chocolate sauce, caramel

Instructions

  1. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining each cup with paper liners.
  2. Make the crust: In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Press about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust. Place the tin in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  4. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Scrape down the sides.
  5. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
  6. Slowly mix in the heavy cream until the filling is light and creamy.
  7. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crusts in the muffin cups. Smooth the tops.
  8. Chill the mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, chill overnight.
  9. Before serving, top each mini cheesecake cup with your desired toppings, such as fresh berries or a drizzle of sauce.

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, chill it in the freezer for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • If you do not have heavy cream, you can substitute with an equal amount of sour cream for a slight tang.
  • These individual cheesecake desserts keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
