Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
For the Filling:
  • 28 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
For Topping:
  • Sliced strawberries, fresh berries, cherry pie filling, or salted caramel sauce for topping

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mini cheesecake pans or muffin tin
  • Spatula

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Crust - In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are fully coated and resemble wet sand.
  2. Step 2: Press into Pans - Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of your mini cheesecake pans or muffin tin. Aim for an even layer.
  3. Step 3: Make the Filling - In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate the Condensed Milk - Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese mixture, continuing to beat until well combined. Add the fresh lemon juice and mix until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Fill the Crusts - Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crusts in the mini pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
  6. Step 6: Chill - Cover the pans with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
  7. Step 7: Serve - Once set, carefully remove the mini cheesecakes from the pans. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • Always soften cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
  • Chill the cheesecakes adequately for best results.
