Mini Cheesecake
This mini cheesecake recipe is perfect for when you want a quick and simple sweet treat without making a full-sized cake. Ideal for a small gathering or just a cozy night in.
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Method
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a muffin tin with 4 paper liners.
- In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined.
- Divide the crumb mixture evenly among the 4 muffin liners, pressing down firmly to form a crust.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add the egg, and continue to beat until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the cheesecake batter evenly over each crust in the muffin liners, filling almost to the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
- Allow the mini cheesecakes to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
