Don't be haunted by too-tempting leftovers. Make just enough cheesecake for two. With a jumbo muffin tin and scaled-down ingredients, it's possible!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 6h10m

Yield 2 small cheesecakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

Cooking spray
2 graham crackers
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon sugar
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 large strawberries, finely chopped
1 teaspoon strawberry jam

Steps:

  • For the crust: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 cups of a jumbo muffin tin with liners, and coat with cooking spray.
  • Pulse the graham crackers, butter and sugar in a food processor until fine and crumbly (the mixture should hold together when squeezed). Divide the mixture evenly between the 2 liners, and press it into the bottoms and about 1/4 inch up the sides with your fingers. Bake until the crusts are slightly golden, about 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • For the filling: Wipe out the food processor. Process the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, egg, flour, lemon zest, vanilla and salt until smooth. Divide the batter between the 2 liners. Fill all the empty muffin cups about halfway with water. Bake the cheesecakes until they are just set in the center and just barely jiggle, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature in the tin on a cooling rack.
  • Pop the cheesecakes out of the tin with the help of a large spoon, and refrigerate loosely covered until chilled, 4 hours up to overnight. Before serving, stir the strawberries and jam together, and top the cheesecakes with the mixture, dividing evenly.

  • Use a ramekin or small ovenproof dish that is at least 4 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
  • For a smooth cheesecake, use a food processor or blender to mix the ingredients.
