Cheesecake Bites Recipe

Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • Pinch of salt
  • Toppings of your choice whipped cream, fruit, chocolate, etc.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Divide the graham cracker mixture among the 12 muffin cups. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each cup with a spoon or your fingers.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  • Bake the cheesecake bites for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
  • Remove the cheesecake bites from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, chill the cheesecake bites in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Once chilled, remove the cheesecake bites from the muffin tin and top each one with your desired toppings. Serve chilled.
