Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup for topping
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until combined. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
- Fill the Cups: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crusts in the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
- Chill: Once cooled, refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Top and Serve: Before serving, top each cheesecake with a mixture of fresh berries drizzled with honey or maple syrup. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
