Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, lower case
• 1/3 cup sugar, lower case
• 6 tbsp butter, melted
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar, lower case
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup of sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of lined muffin tins to form the crust.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Gently fold in the sour cream.
4. Evenly distribute the cream cheese mixture into the crust-lined muffin cups.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the centers are set. Remove from oven and allow to cool at room temperature. Refrigerate to chill thoroughly.
6. Prior to serving, garnish with chosen toppings such as fresh berries, chocolate ganache, or caramel sauce.
