Ingredients
  

  • For the Crust:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice optional, for extra tang
  • Toppings Optional:
  • Fresh berries strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries
  • Caramel sauce chocolate drizzle, or fruit compote

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Crust
  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
  • Spoon about 2 tbsp of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each serving cup or jar. Press down firmly to form an even crust layer. Chill in the fridge while making the filling.
  • Make the Cheesecake Filling
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using), and beat until combined and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 2–3 minutes).
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Assemble the Cheesecake Cups
  • Spoon the cheesecake filling into the cups over the chilled crust layer, dividing it evenly among the cups.
  • Smooth the top with a spoon or spatula.
  • Chill
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for 2–4 hours, or until set.
  • Add Toppings
  • Just before serving, add fresh berries, caramel sauce, chocolate drizzle, or any topping of your choice.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: These cheesecake cups can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
  • Flavor Variations: Swap out the vanilla extract for almond extract, or add a swirl of fruit jam into the filling for a different flavor.
  • Crust Options: Use crushed Oreos or graham crackers with coconut for a twist.
