Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Use full-fat block for best results
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Reduce for a low-sugar version
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract Opt for pure for the best flavor
  • 2 large Eggs Ensure they are at room temperature
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Feel free to use gluten-free options
  • 4 tbsp Butter Can substitute with melted coconut oil
Optional Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Berry Sauce Fresh strawberries or blueberries
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream Consider homemade for extra indulgence
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Ganache Rich chocolate sauce for drizzling

Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with parchment paper or cupcake liners.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar, then mix in melted butter. Press mixture into muffin liners to form a crust.
  3. Beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy, then mix in vanilla, room temperature eggs, and salt until just combined.
  4. Pour cheesecake mixture over cooled crusts and gently tap the pan to remove air bubbles. Fill each cup evenly.
  5. Optional: Use a water bath for baking; place muffin tin in a larger pan with boiling water. Bake for 25-30 minutes until centers are set yet slightly jiggly.
  6. Cool the cheesecakes in the oven with the door ajar for 30 minutes. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  7. Serve with your choice of toppings like berry sauce, whipped cream, or chocolate ganache.
