How To Make Cheesecake Crust

For cheesecake crust, pulse graham crackers, butter, sugar in a processor. Pulse until you get crumbly mix.

Pro-Tip : Make sure the crust crumble is moistened enough. Too little butter will make a dry crumble and too much butter will turn crackers into wet mush.

Divide crumb evenly between 12 muffin tins. Press the crust into the base into even layer and some on the sides of the muffin tins as well.

Bake in pre heated oven at 350 F for about 5 minutes. Remove muffin tins out and let it cool completely.

How To Make Easter Min Cheesecakes

The filling for mini cheesecake is simply but with LOT of flavors. It’s rich, creamy, smooth, and has a hint of tang from sour cream.

In a large bowl beat cream cheese, sugar and flour together on low speed.

Note: Beat at LOW speed to keep less air from getting into the batter which can cause the cheesecakes to crack.

Add sour cream, vanilla extract and beat on low speed until combined.

Add eggs one at a time and beat on low speed. Keep scrapping the edges to get smooth filling.

Tip : Don’t forget to scrape the edges of the bowl regularly to get lump-free smooth filling.

Pour the filling over cracker crust until the cups are mostly full.

Bake in pre-heated oven at 325 F for about 18 to 20 minutes or until the cheesecake is set. It should have a slight wiggle at the center. Do not over bake cheesecakes. If the cheesecakes cracks in the oven, it’s over baked.

Note : Every oven has different setting when it comes to heat. Please use the mentioned time as guidance and keep an eye on the cheesecakes while it’s in the oven.  Once it’s set (with slight wiggle in the center), it’s ready to be taken out.

Allow cheesecakes to cool for 20 minutes.

Then add the toppings of your choice.

We went with dark chocolate melt and speckled Easter eggs for the topping.

Remove the lining from cheesecake after it’s cooled completely. Serve.

You can also chill cheesecakes for few hours in refrigerator and then serve it chilled!

Tips To Bake Cheesecakes

• No muffin tray? No problem! Bake cheesecakes in muffin tins or cupcake pan with cupcake liners!
• Also mini cheesecake recipes do not need water bath unlike full-sized cheesecake. Bake cheesecakes in cupcake liners for not more than 20 minutes or until you see they are set with slight giggle in the middle.
• Note : If cheesecakes start cracking in the oven, you are over baking it. Don’t over bake cheesecakes.
• Before adding the topping cool Easter cheesecakes at room temperature.

Can You Freeze Mini Cheesecakes

Yes it can be frozen.  Mini cheesecake bites can be frozen without the toppings. That means you can easily make these mini cheesecake bites ahead of time, freeze it in air tight containers wrapped in cling film. You can’t freeze it with the topping.

To serve frozen cheesecakes, thaw at room temperature. Add toppings of your choice and serve!
