Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

How to Make Mini Cheesecake with Raspberry Topping

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix. Pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the prepared crusts, filling each liner about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
  6. While the cheesecakes are cooling, prepare the raspberry topping. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cooled raspberry mixture.
  8. Once the cheesecakes are chilled, remove them from the muffin tin and top each mini cheesecake with a generous dollop of the raspberry crumble and a swirl of whipped cream. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • Don’t overmix the batter after adding the eggs to prevent cracks in the cheesecakes.
  • For a smoother raspberry topping, you can blend the raspberries before cooking for a more uniform texture.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute blueberries or strawberries for the raspberry topping for a different fruity flavor.
  • Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crust for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Top with chocolate ganache instead of fruit for a rich chocolate version.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent pairing.
  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
  • Coffee or tea to complement the rich flavors of the cheesecake.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover mini cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. These treats are best enjoyed cold, so there’s no need to reheat.
