Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

2 tbsp granulated white sugar (or brown sugar)

1/8 tsp kosher salt

Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature

1/4 cup sour cream (or mascarpone cheese)

1/4 cup granulated white sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt until combined.
  3. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease the wells. Spoon about 1 tsp crust mixture into each well and press firmly.
  4. Bake crusts for 4–5 minutes, then cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spoon filling over crusts, nearly to the top.
  7. Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until centers are set and no longer jiggle when gently shaken.
  8. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  9. Top with berries, whipped cream, or chocolate drizzle before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Swap in crushed coconut cookies for a tropical twist and add lime zest to filling.
  • Use brown sugar in the crust for a richer flavor.
  • Drizzle with melted chocolate or add mini chocolate chips for a dessert upgrade.
  • Freeze after chilling for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
