Bite-Size New York Style Cheesecake image

We made these bite-size cheesecakes with a graham cracker crust and a Nilla wafer crust. Both are delicious! The New York-style filling is creamy and smooth with a hint of lemon flavor in each bite. They're easy to prepare and bake in no time. A great addition to a dessert table or cookie platter. We opted to add a little bit of...

Number Of Ingredients 17

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST
1 1/4 c graham cracker crumbs; from 9 full-size crackers (18 squares total)
1/4 c sugar
1/3 c (5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon) butter, melted
NILLA WAFER CRUST
24 Nilla wafers, finely ground
3 Tbsp melted butter
3 Tbsp sugar
pinch salt
CHEESECAKE FILLING
2 pkg cream cheese, softened (8 oz each)
3/4 c sugar
3 Tbsp plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
2 large eggs
1/2 c sour cream
1/4 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Stir together crust ingredients.
  • 2. Press into the bottom of mini muffin liners. You just want the crust to cover the bottom of the liner. You'll probably have some crust leftover. Bake crusts for 6 minutes @ 325 F. Allow crust to cool. (Turn up the oven for cakes to 350.)
  • 3. Beat together cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, flour, and zest with an electric mixer until smooth. Add vanilla, then eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed until each ingredient is incorporated. Scrape bowl down between additions.
  • 4. When the filling is very smooth, use a measuring cup with a pour spout to fill mini muffin liners.
  • 5. Bake cheesecakes for 20 minutes @ 350 F. The tops will be puffed and slightly cracked when done.
  • 6. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then remove to wire rack to cool to room temperature. Chill until ready to serve (at least 2 hours).

These cheesecakes were so easy to make! I just followed the recipe and they turned out perfect. I love the way the cheesecake filling melts in my mouth.

I've tried many cheesecake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is smooth and creamy. I love that the cheesecakes are bite-sized, so I can enjoy a little bit of cheesecake without feeling guilty.
