Basic Mini Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients:

Crust:
1 cup of graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons of sugar
3 tablespoons of melted butter

Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Instructions:

Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar, then add melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.
Press about one tablespoon of the mixture firmly into each muffin liner to form the crust.

Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add vanilla extract and eggs, then mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts, filling each nearly to the top.

Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the centers of the cheesecakes are set.
Let cool at room temperature for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

This simple mini cheesecake “base” recipe is perfect with toppings like fresh fruit, chocolate drizzle, or even caramel sauce!
