Sure! Here's a recipe for Mini Cheesecake Bites that are perfect for a sweet treat or dessert.
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
For the topping:
- Fresh berries or fruit of your choice (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper cupcake liners and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter for the crust. Stir until well combined.
3. Place a spoonful of the graham cracker mixture into each cupcake liner and press down firmly to create a crust base. You can use the back of a spoon or your fingers to do this.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until well combined.
5. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
6. Bake the mini cheesecakes in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
7. Remove the mini cheesecakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the mini cheesecakes are completely cooled, refrigerate them for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
9. Just before serving, top each mini cheesecake with fresh berries or fruit of your choice.
