Ingredients
  

For the Graham Cracker Crust:

  • of a cup of graham cracker crumbs (prepared using the food processor)
  • 2 tablespoons of melted, unsalted butter
  • of granulated white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 8 oz of cream cheese (left at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup of granulated white sugar
  • ¼ cup of sour cream or full cream mascarpone cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • tablespoon of vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Making of the crust:

  • Mix well in a large bowl the graham crackers crust, melted butter, and white sugar.
  • Grease your mini muffin tin with butter to avoid the sticking of the crust. (you can use muffin liners instead)
  • With a tablespoon, scoop the crust from the bowl and add it to each muffin well in the tin. Press with the back of a wooden knife to make the crust an even, firm layer with no air trapped.
  • Place the muffin tin in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 4-5 minutes until it browns a bit.

Making of the filling:

  • Mix together the room temperature cream cheese, egg, sour cream, vanilla and sugar in a bowl with a mixer until the mix obtains a smooth and silky consistency.
  • With a tablespoon, scoop the filling and place it on each crust until the wells are fully filled.
  • Return the muffin tin back into the oven for 18 minutes or until the filling is not jiggling anymore.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely, then transfer it to the refrigerator to cool overnight.
  • After cooling, add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
