Ingredients
For the crust:
Graham cracker crumbs - 1 and 1/2 cups
Granulated sugar - 2 tablespoons
Melted butter - 1/4 cup
For the filling:
Cream cheese - 16 ounces, softened
Granulated sugar - 1/2 cup
Sour cream - 1/4 cup
Eggs - 2, at room temperature
Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
All-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons
Red food coloring - a few drops
For the topping:
Whipped cream - for serving
Sprinkles - for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
Divide the crust mixture evenly between the 12 muffin cups, pressing it firmly into the bottom.
Bake the crusts for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and let them cool while you prepare the filling.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
Add in the sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and flour, and beat until well combined.
Remove about 1/3 of the filling and place it in a small bowl. Add a few drops of red food coloring and mix until the desired shade of pink is achieved.
Divide the plain filling evenly between the 12 crusts, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
Add a spoonful of the pink filling on top of each plain filling, and use a toothpick or knife to create swirls.
Bake the mini cheesecakes for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
Allow the cheesecakes to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, top each cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream and some sprinkles for a festive touch.
Refrigerate the mini holiday cheesecakes until ready to serve.
With their rich and creamy texture, these mini holiday cheesecakes are the perfect indulgent treat for any gathering. The red swirls of filling add a festive touch, making them a great addition to any holiday dessert spread. So go ahead and give this recipe a try – your taste buds will thank you!
