Here’s a detailed recipe for making cheesecake bites:
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam (or any fruit jam of your choice)
- Fresh berries (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
Preparing the Crust:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
- Press the Crust: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. Press about a tablespoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each liner, using a small glass or the back of a spoon to compact it firmly.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
