How to make mini cheesecakes?
Share on social media:
For the Crust:
1. To prepare your cupcakes, start by preheating your oven to 350F and lining your cupcake tins with papers.
2. Using a food processor, pulse Graham crackers and toasted pecans until they are broken into small pieces.
3. Next, add sugar and cinnamon, and pulse until everything is mixed in completely.
4. Pour melted butter into the mixture while pulsing the processor.
5. Use a tablespoon to transfer the mixture to your cupcake tin and press it into a flat layer using a shot glass or small flat tool.
6. Bake the mixture for about 8 minutes at 350F or until it turns a slightly darker golden color and becomes fragrant. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and set them aside.
For the Filling:
1. Start by adding cream cheese at room temperature to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and mix on medium speed until creamy. Then, add sugar and salt to the bowl and mix on medium until completely creamy.
2. Scrape the bowl down and mix until smooth. Next, add sour cream and vanilla extract and mix well.
3. Then, add the eggs and yolks one at a time, letting each incorporate before adding the next. Scrape down the bowl and mix until the mixture is completely smooth.
4. To transfer the cheesecake mixture to your cupcake tin, use an ice cream scoop and fill each cup about 3/4 of the way to the top.
5. Bake at 350F for 18-20 minutes. Turn off the oven but leave the door closed and let the cupcakes rest in the oven for an additional 20 minutes.
6. Afterward, remove them from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. You can serve them warm or chilled, but avoid adding whipped cream onto warm cheesecake as it will melt.
7. Finally, you can decorate the cupcakes with whipped cream, berries, melted chocolate, pie filling, or enjoy them plain.

Tips for making mini cheesecakes
- For a smoother batter, use cream cheese that is at room temperature. You can leave it out overnight or microwave it for 20 seconds at 50% power.
- Make sure to beat the cream cheese and sugars until they are completely smooth.
- Avoid opening the oven while the cheesecake is baking, as the rush of cold air can affect the delicate cake.
- Don’t worry if the cheesecake seems underdone after baking. It will firm up as it cools.
- Get creative with your crust by trying out different cookies instead of Graham crackers. Oreos are a popular option.
