Baked Mini Cheesecake Bites (Yields 48)

With a simple graham cracker crust and a smooth, creamy cheesecake filling, these baked mini cheesecakes are the perfect bite-size desserts for serving for a crowd. My recipe yields 48 individual cheesecakes. They’re totally customizable too — add whatever your favorite topping is onto each, such as fresh blueberries, caramel drizzle, cinnamon sugar, whipped cream, and more.

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 ½ cups Graham Cracker Crumbs, about 9 crackers
  • cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated Sugar

Cheesecake Batter

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 2.5 tbsp Sour Cream
  • 1 ½ tbsp Flour
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Heavy Cream

Equipment

  • 2 inch Mini Cupcake Trays
  • 2 inch Mini Cupcake Liners

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a 48 mini cupcake pan with mini cupcake liners.
  • To make the crust, melt the butter, and add the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Mix until it resembles wet sand. Press about 2 tsp of the mixture into each liner. Bake for 5 minutes. Take the prepared crusts out of the oven to cool and lower the oven temp to 325.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the cream cheese and sugar and mix on low speed using a hand mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. You can make this by hand or in a stand mixer too. Add in the sour cream, flour, and vanilla and mix again on low-medium speed until combined. Add in the egg and cream and mix again until all ingredients in the batter are fully combined.
  • Using a tablespoon measure, pour the batter into each mold evenly. The batter should cover up all the graham cracker crust.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 12- 15 minutes.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and serve with fresh berries or your favorite toppings!

Notes
