Method
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until well combined.
- Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each paper liner to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add the vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly over the crusts in the muffin cups.
- Cover the muffin tin and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Before serving, top with fresh berries or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
These cheesecake cups can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For a festive Fourth of July touch, you can add a few blueberries and strawberries on top.
