Method
Crust Preparation
- 1
Prepare the crust
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until all the crumbs are well coated.
- 2
Form the crust
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined mini muffin pan, creating a compact layer. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure it's even and well-formed.
- 3
Pre-bake the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 5-7 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool while preparing the filling.
Filling Preparation
- 4
Mix the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- 5
Add the eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 6
Fill the crusts
Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pre-baked crusts, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Baking and Serving

Bake the cheesecake bites

In a small bowl, toss the fresh berries with powdered sugar to coat lightly.
