Time 4h40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons brown sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
*See Note for additional crust ideas*
8 ounces Challenge Cream Cheese (room temperature)
1 large egg (room temperature)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sour cream (room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
*See Note for additional filling and topping ideas*

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  • Make the graham cracker crust: Stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press about 2-2 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner and press to compact.
  • Beat room temperature cream cheese with a hand mixer until fluffy. Beat in room temperature sour cream. Beat in egg, sugar, and vanilla extract. (Room temperature ingredients are a must to avoid lumps!)
  • Evenly divide (about 2-2 1/2 tablespoons each) cheesecake among crusts. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until they just begin to brown. Cool completely and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Serve plain or topped with whipped cream and berries. See notes for additional serving suggestions.

COFFEE LOVER'S MINI CHEESECAKES



Coffee Lover's Mini Cheesecakes image

Everyone in my family knows how much I adore cheesecake. Anyone who wants one made comes to me because they know I have a lot of tried and tested recipes. But I was getting bored with the standard chocolate or cherry. And then I had an idea-mocha cheesecake! After lots of experiments, I came up with this recipe. It's really good, even if I do say so myself. -Holly Sharp, Warren, Ontario
