Mini New York Cheesecake Recipe
Description
This Mini New York Cheesecake recipe starts with a graham cracker crust pressed into paper-lined muffin cups, forming a sturdy base and slight up the sides. The filling blends cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar creamed to fluffy consistency before gently folding in lemon juice, eggs added one at a time, vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt. Baking at 325ºF for 20-25 minutes sets the centers just before completely firming up in refrigeration.
The result is a smooth, dense texture with a slight tang from the sour cream and lemon juice. These mini cheesecakes can be served plain or topped with fruit or other sweet garnishes to complement the rich filling. Removing the cupcake liners before serving makes them easy to handle.
