Ingredients

• 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 units Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0 as needed Optional toppings (e.g., fruit, whipped cream, chocolate shavings)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Divide the crumb mixture evenly between the 12 muffin cups, pressing it firmly into the bottom to create a crust layer. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add in the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 6

Fold in the sour cream gently until fully incorporated, avoiding overmixing.

Step 7

Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crusts, filling each muffin cup nearly to the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are just set (they may wobble slightly but will firm up as they cool).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cups cool completely in the muffin tin. Then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Step 10

Once chilled, top with your desired toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings, and serve!
