Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 16 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0 Fruit preserves or fresh fruit (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup. Press firmly to create an even crust layer. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Blend in the sour cream until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.

Step 7

Spoon the cheesecake batter 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 and slightly jiggle when shaken.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cheesecakes cool in the muffin tin for 30 minutes. Then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 10

Before serving, top each miniature cheesecake with a small dollop of fruit preserves or a slice of fresh fruit, if desired.
