Ingredients

Scale

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
16 oz cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Fresh berries for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each liner to form the crust.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in sugar, then add eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla extract.
Pour the cheesecake batter into each crust-lined cup until three-quarters full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cool at room temperature before chilling in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Top with fresh berries before serving.
