  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
– ¾ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs
– ½ cup sour cream
– 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
– 1 cup blueberries
– Whipped cream, for topping (optional)


Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Red, White and Blue Mini Cheesecakes:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray with cooking spray.
3. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until well combined.
4. Fill the Liners: Press about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner. Use a small glass to press it down firmly.
5. Bake the Crusts: Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
6. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, ¾ cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
7. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
8. Incorporate Sour Cream: Mix in the sour cream until fully combined and smooth.
9. Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled crusts, filling each liner about ¾ full.
10. Bake the Cheesecakes: Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool.
11. Chill the Cheesecakes: Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight for optimal texture.
12. Add Toppings: Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
