Mini Cheesecakes
Ingredients
- Graham cracker1 cup
- Sugar10 tbsp
- Butter · melted3 tbsp
- Cream cheese · softened16 oz
- Sour cream¼ cups
- Vanilla1 tsp
- Lemon1 tsp
- Egg2
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- Mix the crust ingredients in a medium bowl until sandy. Press a heaping tablespoon of crust into each liner, then bake for 6 minutes.
- With a hand or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium-high for about 2 minutes until completely smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla and beat until combined.
- On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until each is combined. Do not overmix. Divide the batter among the liners, filling each to the top.
- Optional water bath: pour about 1 inch of boiling water into a 9×13-inch metal pan on the bottom rack of the preheated oven, then place the cheesecakes on the center rack and close the oven.
- Bake until the edges are set and the centers jiggle slightly when the pan is tapped, about 20 minutes.
- Cool the pan on a rack at room temperature for 45 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (up to 24 hours), loosely covered if chilling longer than 2 hours. For a quicker chill, freeze for 1 hour instead.
