Ingredients

Crust
  • 1 ½ cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cheesecake Filling
  • 32 ounce cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping
  • 8 ounces Strawberry Preserves
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Crust
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line two standard-sized muffin tins with cupcake liners.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. Pour 1 tablespoon of graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Using a cup, press crumbs into an even packed layer.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest while you make the filling.
Cheesecake Filling
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip cream cheese until fluffy. (You can use a hand mixer instead if you prefer.)
  2. Add in sugar slowly to the cream cheese and keep mixing until smooth.
  3. Add in eggs, one at a time. Then add vanilla and salt; mix to combine.
  4. Pour 3 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling into each cupcake liner.
  5. Tap muffin tins on the counter to bring the bubbles up to the top and pop them with a toothpick.
  6. Bake cheesecakes for 22 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temp.
Topping
  1. Place 2 teaspoons of strawberry preserves on top of the cheesecakes where a little dip forms.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth. Vanilla glaze will be a little on the thick side- but should still drizzle off a spoon. Add more heavy cream as needed to reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over cheesecake tops.
  3. Move cheesecakes to the fridge to chill for 2 to 4 hours. Remove from liners and enjoy!
