🧾 Ingredients
🥨 For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
🧁 For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 cups cream cheese (softened)
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
🌈 For Decoration (Optional but festive!):
- Mini chocolate eggs
- Whipped cream
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries)
- Sprinkles or shredded coconut (for a “nest” look)
🥣 Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in melted butter and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each cupcake liner or mini jar. Press firmly using the back of a spoon to create a compact base. Place in the fridge for at least 15–20 minutes to set.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
3. Assemble the Mini Cheesecakes
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts. Smooth the tops and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight for best results).
4. Decorate & Serve
Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with whipped cream, Easter candies, or fresh fruit. Get creative—this is where the Easter magic shines!
