I’ve been wanting to do mini cheesecakes since like forever.. but I couldn’t find a recipe that’s simple… Finally I’ve found it! *yeay me*.. Thanks Jennifer for this easy-to-do mini cheesecake recipe! You can find the original recipe on her page, cos the recipe below is the altered one.. I changed the recipe a lil’ bit cos I didn’t have a mini cheesecake pan [I want one!! :( ].. So I decided to use a cupcake liner instead.. And I also added a lil’ bit of strawberry jam cos I wanted strawberry cheesecakes :D ..

 

 

Ingredients

::Crumb Mixture::
6 tablespoons of butter
1 & 1/2 cups of Graham cracker crumbs [You could use Oreos, Chocolate graham crackers, Vanilla wafers, etc… I used Oreos]
1/4 cup of sugar

::Filling::
8 ounces of softened cream cheese
1/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 egg
1 tablespoon of strawberry jam [you can add more if you like]

Method

1. For the crumb mixture: Melt the butter and mix it with the rest of the ingredients for the crumb mixture. Fill each cup with about 1 tablespoons [depending on how thick you want the crust to be] of crumb mixture. Press into the bottom of the cupcake liners.
2. For the filling: Mix together all the ingredients for the filling together.
3. Pour the batter on top of the crusts and smooth out the tops.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes.

 

I found the crumb mixture to be a tad too sweet.. It’s probably cos I used Oreos instead of graham crackers.. So I’ll suggest that you lower the amount of the sugar if you want to use Oreos for the crumb mixture.. But overall it’s lovely.. My sister loved it! Thanks again Jennifer.

p/s: Sorry my cheesecakes doesn’t look that nice in the pic above.. I’m too lazy to decorate it.. heh.. You can use whipped cream or anything else as the topping..
