Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s get started on making these sweet little treats. The process is simple, so follow along, and you’ll have delicious mini cheesecakes in no time!

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Make the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter. Press about a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from oven.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract and sour cream. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crusts, filling each one about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set. Allow them to cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  5. Make the strawberry topping: Combine strawberries, sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the strawberries release their juices. Mix cornstarch with water and stir into the strawberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
  6. Once the cheesecakes are chilled, spoon the strawberry topping over each mini cheesecake.
  7. Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for another hour to set the topping before serving.
