Ingredients

Scale
  • Crust:
    • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
    • 2 tbsp sugar
    • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Cheesecake Filling:
    • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Raspberry Sauce:
    • 1 cup fresh raspberries
    • 2 tbsp sugar
    • 1 tsp lemon juice
    • 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • For the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Bake for 5 minutes, then set aside.
  • For the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
  • For the raspberry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down, about 5 minutes. Optional: Mix cornstarch with 1 tsp of water and add to the raspberry sauce to thicken. Remove from heat and strain to remove seeds if desired.
  • Spoon the cheesecake batter over the pre-baked crusts in each liner. Add a small spoonful of raspberry sauce on top of each and swirl gently with a toothpick.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • For a smooth cheesecake, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries or a dollop of whipped cream for extra flair.
