Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• Fruit toppings (optional)
• Whipped cream (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
3. In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese, remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until well combined.
5. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each cupcake liner, filling it almost to the top.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and slightly golden around the edges.
7. Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cups cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 2 hours or overnight to firm up.
9. Serve the cheesecake cups chilled and garnish with your favorite fruit toppings or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
