For the Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 150 g)
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 450 g cream cheese (room temperature)
- ¾ cup sugar (150 g)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup sour cream (120 g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
For the Topping
- Fresh berries: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries
- Melted chocolate or chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Make the Crust – Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Spoon about 1 tbsp into each liner, press firmly.
- Make the Filling – Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add sugar, mix well. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream, vanilla, and flour. Mix until creamy. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about ¾ full).
- Bake – Bake for 18–20 minutes, until centers are just set but still slightly jiggly. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (best overnight).
- Decorate – Top each mini cheesecake with fresh berries. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Add whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use a water bath (place muffin tin inside a larger pan with hot water) for smoother texture.
- You can swap graham crackers with Oreos for a chocolatey crust.
- Perfect for parties – easy to serve, no slicing needed!
