Creamy, rich mini cheesecakes baked in a muffin pan with a graham cracker crust — easy to make and perfect for parties or dessert tables.
Crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp melted unsalted butter
Filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press ~1 tbsp into each liner. Bake for 5 minutes; set aside.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then sour cream and vanilla. Mix until combined.
Fill each crust with cheesecake batter, nearly to the top.
Bake 15–18 minutes until centers are just set. Cool in pan, then refrigerate 2+ hours.
Top with desired toppings before serving.
Make up to 3 days in advance. Freeze without toppings for longer storage. For flavor twists, swirl in jam or add zest.
