Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for cheesecake bites:
Ingredients:
- 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 package (about 14 oz or 400g) graham crackers, crushed
- 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, melted
- Toppings of your choice (chocolate chips, fruit compote, whipped cream, etc.)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Prepare Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup.
- Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and mix until well combined.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust in the muffin cups, filling each cup almost to the top.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Cool: Remove the cheesecake bites from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Topping: Once cooled, you can add your favorite toppings such as chocolate chips, fruit compote, whipped cream, or anything else you like.
- Chill: For best results, chill the cheesecake bites in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This helps them set properly and enhances the flavor.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve and enjoy your delicious homemade cheesecake bites!
These cheesecake bites are perfect for parties, gatherings, or just as a sweet treat for yourself. Enjoy!
