Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Use Neufchâtel for a lighter option.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust to taste if desired.

  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
  • 2 large Eggs Use room temperature eggs for best incorporation.
Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Crackers Can substitute with gluten-free crackers if necessary.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Gather all your ingredients and ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until incorporated, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently until incorporated before adding the next. This should take another 2-3 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine crushed graham crackers with melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand.
  6. Line your muffin pan with mini cupcake liners and press the graham cracker mixture into the bottoms, forming an even layer.
  7. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crusts, filling them about ¾ full. Be careful not to overfill.
  8. Bake for about 20 minutes until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle tops with red and green sprinkles for a festive touch.
