Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- Fresh berries (optional)
- Jam (optional)
- Lemon curd (optional)
- Chocolate ganache (optional)
- Caramel sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of muffin tin liners to create a crust.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crusts in the muffin tin.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Top with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Soften your cream cheese for the smoothest filling, and avoid overbaking to maintain a slight jiggle in the center.
