Description

These little cuties are so easy to throw together and they taste incredible. They are the perfect size, so that you don’t have to feel guilty about having one, or maybe two!

Ingredients

  • 3 whole Graham Crakers
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • ¼ cups Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 whole Egg

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line your 12-count muffin tin with paper cups. Take your graham crackers and add to a zip top bag. Close the bag and finely crush the crackers. Add the crushed crackers to your bowl with your melted butter and stir to combine. Divide the crackers into each of the 12 paper cups and gently press down into the bottom of the cup. Bake the crusts for 3 minutes and then remove and let cool.

While the crusts are in the oven, combine the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Add in the egg and mix until it is all incorporated. Spoon your filling into each cup (and spread down if needed) making sure to divide it evenly between the 12 crusts. Bake for 15 minutes or until the center is almost set. Cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.

I’d love to know how the pumpkin turned out in these. It sounds awesome!

I just took these out of the oven but haven’t tasted one yet. In an effort to be festive, I replaced the sour cream with two heaping tablespoons of pureed pumpkin, added about 1/2 teaspoon each of ground clove and cinnamon, and topped them with 2-3 fresh cranberries. If they taste anywhere as good as they look, and as good as the cream cheese batter tasted….. we’ll have a real winner here!

Mmmm, I love the combination of cream cheese and sour cream. I have a recipe I have used for some time, but these sound even better!

I love cheesecake and these are good. My problem is stopping with just one :)

I made a variety of mini cheesecakes for Thanksgiving and these were my favorite. I have another recipe I have used for years, but the sour cream in this recipe really ups the flavor. They also bake up beautifully, no cracks or sunken centers. I will be altering all my miniature cheesecake recpes now!
