Ingredients
  

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 package(s) (about 13 crackers) graham crackers
  • 2 teaspoon(s) granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoon(s) butter, melted

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 package(s) (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup(s) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon(s) salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup(s) heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 48 muffin pan cups with liners.

Crust Preparation Instructions

  • Pulse the graham crackers and sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press about 1 heaping teaspoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each liner. Bake for 5 minutes, or until lightly golden, then cool completely on wire racks. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees.

Filling Preparation Instructions

  • In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese and sugar for 3 minutes, or until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and salt until combined. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the heavy cream then divide the filling among the prepared liners.
  • Bake the cheesecakes for 12 to 15 minutes, or until set, but still slightly jiggly and moist in the center. Let them cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. Garnish with your choice of toppings.
