Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240g) graham cracker crumbs (about 16 full sheet graham crackers)
- 1/3 cup (67g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (240ml) cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
- 16 ounces (452g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons (30g) sour cream or plain yogurt, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Your desired toppings such as fresh berries, chocolate shavings, caramel sauce, or whipped cream
Instructions
- Line two standard 12-count muffin pans with cupcake liners. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor to fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with brown sugar and melted butter. Spoon 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of crust mixture into each liner, pressing down firmly.
- To bake crusts, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and bake for 5 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before adding filling.
- Whip cold heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
- Beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth. Add sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, then beat until smooth.
- Gradually fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
- Transfer filling into a piping bag and pipe about 2 tablespoons of filling over each crust. Smooth the tops.
- Refrigerate mini cheesecakes for at least 3 hours or up to 2 days. Cover if chilling longer than 3 hours.
- Keep refrigerated until serving. Add toppings just before serving.
Notes
- Crusts can be baked for sturdier texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Optional toppings should be added before serving.
