Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 🍪
1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 🧈
For the cheesecake filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍬
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍨
1 cup heavy whipping cream 🥛
1 tablespoon lemon juice 🍋
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
Stir until the mixture is evenly combined and the crumbs are fully coated with butter.
Press the mixture into the bottoms of mini cheesecake pans or muffin tins, creating a firm, even layer. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Continue to beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the Mini Swirl Cheesecakes:
Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in each mini pan, filling them almost to the top.
For a fun swirl effect, add a few drops of food coloring to the cheesecake mixture and gently swirl it with a toothpick or skewer.
Chill:
Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 3 hours, or until they are firm and set.
Serve:
Once the cheesecakes are chilled and set, remove them from the pans.
Top with fresh fruit or additional whipped cream if desired before serving.
