Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

How to Make Mini Cheesecakes with Caramel Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press about a tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form a base.
4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
5. Add in the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
6. Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crusts in the muffin tin, filling each liner about 2/3 full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
9. Before serving, drizzle each mini cheesecake with caramel sauce for that decadent finish.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
• Don’t overmix the batter to avoid air bubbles that can cause cracks.
• Let the cheesecakes cool completely before refrigerating for the best texture.

Easy Variations

• Top with fresh berries or chocolate ganache for a fruity or rich twist.
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt to the caramel sauce for a salted caramel version.
• Swap the graham cracker crust with an Oreo crust for a chocolatey flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit or fruit compote to balance the richness.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
• Coffee or tea to complement the sweet flavors.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These mini cheesecakes are best enjoyed chilled, so there’s no need for reheating.
