Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions

  3. Spoon about a tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each section of a mini cheesecake pan or a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of each section to form the crust.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the sour cream and flour to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
  6. Evenly divide the cream cheese mixture among the crusts in the mini cheesecake pan or muffin tin.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the centers of the cheesecakes are set.
  8. Remove the mini cheesecakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  9. If desired, top each cheesecake with a teaspoon of strawberry jam and spread it gently over the surface.
  10. Transfer the mini cheesecakes to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  11. Garnish with fresh strawberries before serving, if desired.
  12. Enjoy these delectable mini cheesecakes!
