Mini Cheesecakes
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 16 graham cracker sheets about 2 cups of crumbs
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Cheesecake:
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 6 oz white chocolate chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup cold heavy whipping cream
- Fresh berries for topping
Instructions
For the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray eight 4-inch tart pans with non-stick spray.
- Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground.
- In a large bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the tart pans. Press the crumbs firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pans. A spoon can help with this.
- Place the tart pans on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool completely while you make the cheesecake filling.
For the Cheesecake:
- Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Add the melted white chocolate and vanilla, mixing on low speed until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula.
- Scoop the cheesecake batter into the prepared crusts using an ice cream scoop. Smooth the tops with a mini offset spatula.
- Chill the cheesecakes in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. (Keep them on the baking sheet and cover with another baking sheet turned over.)
To Serve:
- Once chilled, gently push the bottoms of the tart pans to release the cheesecakes.
- Transfer to a serving plate, top with fresh berries, and enjoy!
- These mini cheesecakes are a hit at any summer gathering. Enjoy the creamy, berry-topped goodness!
