Mini Cheesecakes Recipes

These luscious and dainty mini cheesecakes are great for party, holidays gathering or whatever the occasion. One thing great about these little cheesecakes is their simplicity. Preparation time is very quick and best of all you can put any kind of topping to it. Since I don’t have the mini cheesecake pan I just used my muffin pan to bake these.

Ingredients for the base :

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tbsp of melted butter

Ingredients for the filling :

1 packet (8oz) low fat cream cheese
2 tbsp of low fat sour cream
2 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp of lime zest
3 tbsp of lemon juice
Some fruit topping.

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter with a fork until well combined. Line 12 muffin cups with paper cups.
2. Divide crumb mixture evenly between the 12 muffin cups. Using the back of a small spoon press crumbs firmly onto the bottom and set it aside.
3. Using a food processor, blend softened cream cheese, eggs, lime zest, lime juice, sour cream and sugar together until well mix. Spoon cream cheese mixture into each cup (they should be 3/4 filled).
4. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven and place on rack to cool for 20 minutes then carefully remove cheesecakes from pan and let cool complete.Top it with your favorite fruit topping before serving.
