Cheesecake Cupcakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- cup sour cream
- cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberry Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup strawberries, – cut in half
- teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons sugar
Directions:
- Preheat Oven to 325 degrees and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- Combine graham cracker, butter and sugar in a small bowl. Texture should be similar to wet sand. Divide crust mixture evenly into the bottoms of muffin tins.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown, allowing to cool completely when finished.
- Assemble the cheesecake filling. Beat cream cheese in a stand mixer with the beater attachment
- Add in sour cream, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- Pour cheesecake mixture into cooled muffin tin. It will be about 2 tablespoons of filling each, filling almost completely.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheesecakes are set. They will still jiggle a bit. But that is ok; they will cook as they cool.
- Allow them to cool in the muffin tin completely. Place in the refrigerator to chill and serve cold with your favorite topping.
