Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream, room temperature

Toppings

  • 1 package strawberries, sliced
  • 1 oz dark chocolate melting wafers
  • letter/number silicone chocolate molds

Instructions

Graham Cracker Crusts

  1. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl.
  3. Press a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cup in the prepared muffin pan.
  4. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you make the filling.

Cheesecake

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 F.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese on low speed until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the sugar and salt and beat until combined.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the vanilla and sour cream and beat until combined.
  6. Divide the cheesecake mixture between the cups in the prepared muffin pan, filling each to the top.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the cheesecakes are firm and the centers still wobble a little.
  8. Let the cheesecakes cool on a wire rack. Then, cover and place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving.

Chocolate Decorations

  1. Melt the chocolate and pipe it into the letter/number silicone molds. Tap the molds on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  2. Place the molds into the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
  3. Remove the chocolate from the molds and repeat the process, remelting the chocolate as needed.

Assembly
