Crust

Method

Preparing the Crust

  1. 1

    Mix the Crust Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Press the Crust Mixture

    Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a round cheesecake pan or silicone molds evenly. Use the bottom of a measuring cup for an even surface.

  3. 3

    Pre-bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Making the Filling

  1. 4

    Beat the Cream Cheese

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

  2. 5

    Add Remaining Filling Ingredients

    Add the sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and lemon juice to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and smooth.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 6

    Pour Filling into Crust

    Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  2. 7

    Bake the Cheesecakes

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.

  3. 8

    Cool and Chill

    Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  1. 9

    Add Toppings

    Before serving, top each cheesecake round with fresh berries and garnish with mint leaves as desired.

  2. 10

    Slice and Serve

    Use a sharp knife to slice the cheesecake rounds and serve chilled.
