Prepare your mouth to be hugged! This is the best cheesecake recipe I have tried so far. I actually found this recipe on a cream cheese box and wanted to give it a try. It turned out splendid! They are super easy to make and have a very smooth texture. So I decided to share this yummy recipe with you guys.
Kids absolutely adored them. They were asking for more, but this recipe makes only 18 mini cheesecakes so I will be making a double portion next time. They’re so easy for their little hands to hold, and get devoured quicker. I have used the Blueberry Coulis Sauce that my daughter Elona made to drizzle the top of the mini cheesecakes and placed some fresh farm-picked blueberries that were given by my aunt. Absolutely divine!
I took them out of the foil molds as stated by the recipe, but I learned that it’s easier to keep them in the molds until they are ready to eat, because they are a bit sticky. I will not be taking them out of molds next time I make them; it’s easier to serve that way especially if you are making them for guests or church gatherings. Great turn out and super delicious; just melts in your mouth and leaves you wanting just one more bite. 🙂
Ingredients you will need:
3 – 8 oz. cream cheese packs
¾ cup sugar + 1 tbsp. for crust
1 tsp. – vanilla extract
2 tbsp. – butter soften (room temperature)
1 cup – crushed honey graham crackers
3 large – eggs
1 cup – heavy whipping cream
1 cup – fresh blueberries
Foil cupcake liners
How to make crust:
1. Place 5 whole pieces of graham crackers into a Ziploc bag and crush it with a roller.
2. Add graham crackers crumbs, 1 tbsp sugar, and butter into a small bowl.
3. Mix it with a spoon until all combined.
4. Line muffing pan with aluminum foil liners.
5. Add 1 tbsp of crumb crust into each liner.
6. Press down the crumb mixture to the bottom with same measuring table spoon.
How to make cheesecake batter:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In the bowl of electric mixer. Add cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Beat on high for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of mixer bowl with a spatula and beat it again on high for 3 minutes.
2. Reduce speed to medium and add one egg at the time (total of 3 eggs). Fill liners almost to the top.
3. Bake it in the oven for 18- 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool completely. After the cheesecakes are cold, remove them from the mold by tearing the side of the foil. Place them on the plate for decorations.
How to make decorating cream:
1. Add one cup of heavy whipping cream into a small bowl.
2. Beat it on high for 2 minutes.
3. Place the cream into a piping bag with Wilton 106 attachment and line the cream on top of each cheesecake.

September 22, 2015 at 11:48 pmCan I use paper molds instead of foil one? Thanks
valya'stasteofhome.com
September 23, 2015 at 10:28 amMy daughter will be making them for this Sunday and that’s what she asked me too. I don’t know. We will experiment that and let you know. If you use foil they come out very easy leaving nice cupcake shape.
Z.Y
December 11, 2016 at 7:37 pmso did it work with paper mold instead of foil one?
because I am planning to use paper one.
thanks
valya'stasteofhome.com
December 11, 2016 at 8:21 pmThe cheesecake may stick more to a paper molds and not peel off well. Give it a try and let me know how it went. Thank you for your comment.
Anna
September 29, 2016 at 7:49 amAre those regular-sized muffin tins? Or are they the mini ones?

August 2, 2017 at 6:22 ambin etwas irritiert, dass niemand die Sauce erwähnt….
gut das ich das Rezept vorher noch in aller Ruhe mit den zugehörigen Zutaten lesen konnte, aber ich finde leider keinen Hinweis, wo und wie die Sauce zu machen ist…???
viell. kann man ja die Sauce, die bestimmt auch ein tragender Teil zum Gesamtkonzept ist, noch schnell nachreichen?
lieben Dank

September 6, 2017 at 11:12 amWhy did they cracked on top. ????are they suppose to??? I am taking them to bible study tonite..
www.valyastasteofhome.com
September 6, 2017 at 3:30 pmHi Helen. The cracks are ok on top the cheesecakes. You will top them with cream, sauce and then blueberries. To prevent cracks next time you make these, make sure they are baked over steaming water. (Preheat oven. Place baking pan onto the oven. Pour boiling water into a baking pan, place cooling rach over baking pan and then place cheesecake pan with cheesecakes onto the cooling rach). Bake as instructed. I hope this helps. Thank you for trying out my recipes. 🙂

November 23, 2017 at 12:46 amMine cracked also and sunk soon as I took them out what did I do wrong
Valya of Valya's Taste of Home
November 23, 2017 at 11:24 amHmm… its hard to tell what went wrong without me seeing the preparation process. They sinking could be from over baking. Ovens differ from each other and your oven is probably stronger and the cheesecakes got baked faster. Try baking them for 15 minutes next time and prevent any shaking after baking. Let them sit and cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes and then carefully take them out. Craking is ok. Sometimes my crack as well but sinking is not normal. Try it again, practice makes perfect! Happy Thanksgiving Nikki! 🙂

June 5, 2018 at 9:20 pmI would like to make it in a pan instead of cupcakes, is there anything that I should do or change the measurements? Thanks!
www.valyastasteofhome.com
June 6, 2018 at 12:01 amYou would need to use about 8 or 9 inch spring form pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with foil, place cheesecake onto a baking pan ( I use turkey pan), transfer into preheat oven, then pour boiling hot water (use tea kettle) into a pan little less then half way. Bake in the water bath for about an hour at 300 F. Then turn the oven off, open oven door just a little bit for the heat to escape, and let it cool in the oven for about 2 to 3 hours. Then remove from the oven refrigerate overnight or 6 – 8 hours before serving. This way the cheesecake will hold it’s shape and not crack. I will have to post a separate recipe for it do to so many requests. I hope this helps. And I would love to know how it turn out for you (share a picture ?).

August 7, 2018 at 2:20 amHi, can these be frozen? Would you defrost in the fridge? Wanting to make desserts ahead of a function and these next perfect!
Valya of Valya's Taste of Home
August 7, 2018 at 1:16 pmThese cheesecakes it self may be frozen, but not the cream or coulis sauce. Thaw cheesecakes in the fridge for at least 6 hours then decorate them with cream, sauce and fresh blueberries.
