Form the Crust
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 12-cup muffin tin, making sure it is even. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Chill and Serve
After cooling, place the mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to fully set. Optionally, top with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
