Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- Optional topping: Strawberry preserves or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a mini muffin tin lined with paper liners.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a third bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the crusts in the muffin tin.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Top each bite with strawberry preserves or chocolate chips before serving.
Notes
- For a firmer crust, chill the crust mixture for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
- You can use vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies for the crust instead of graham crackers.
- If you do not have a mini muffin tin, you can use small paper cups placed on a baking sheet.
