Description

Cute, individual mini cheesecake cups with a buttery cookie crust, silky vanilla filling, and vibrant berry topping. Ideal for parties, brunches, or sweet celebrations when you want portion-controlled, no-waste desserts.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup graham cracker crumbs or vanilla cookie crumbs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice


Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C)
Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper cupcake liners
In a medium bowl mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt until it resembles damp sand
Press 1 packed tablespoon of crust mixture into each liner and bake for 5 minutes
In another bowl beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar with a hand mixer until smooth
Add sour cream, vanilla bean paste, and lemon juice, mixing until fully combined
Gradually add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition
Fold in flour then divide the filling evenly among the prepared cups
Bake for 11 minutes until just set around edges
In a small saucepan or microwave, gently combine strawberries, blueberries, jam, and lemon juice to make topping
Cool cheesecakes completely on a rack before filling each cup with berry topping
Chill for 2 hours before serving

Notes

Use halal-certified cream cheese if concerned about animal-source ingredients
Adjust filling texture by adding a splash of milk if it feels too thick
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in airtight container
