Quick and easy cheesecake made into perfectly sized portions with these classic mini cheesecake cups. Baking a cheesecake usually takes over an hour to bake. But because these cheesecakes are baked in muffin tins they take half the time to cook. And there is no need to cut slices, they are already portioned for each person. You can make these mini cheesecakes for just about any occasion, Christmas, Valentine’s day, or just because you want a sweet treat to enjoy.Â
The crust for these cheesecakes is made with a simple graham cracker crust, made by combining crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into a 12 cup muffin pan that has been lined with paper liners. To make the cheesecake filling, cream cheese mixed with sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms. Evenly divide the cheesecake batter over each graham cracker crust. Bake for about 20 minutes. Let cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating until serving. Â
