Baked Mini Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• Move oven rack to middle tier and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 mini-muffin cups with miniature paper liners.
• Beat cream cheese, eggs, and sugar together in a bowl until smooth.
• Put 1 cookie into the bottom of each paper liner. Spoon the cream cheese mixture atop the cookies.
• Bake in preheated oven until nearly set in the middle, about 15 minutes.
• Move tins to a wire rack to cool slightly before refrigerating until the cheesecake layer sets firmly, about 3 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Line muffin tins with 12 paper baking cups. Place a vanilla wafer in each one.
• In a medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add eggs, lemon juice, and sugar. Beat until smooth and thoroughly combined.
• Fill each baking cup 2/3 full with cream cheese mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes. Cool on a rack. Top with fruit pie filling. Pipe whipped cream or sweetened cream cheese into a rosette on top of each cheesecake just prior to serving, if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Line muffin pan with paper muffin cups. Place one wafer cookie in the bottom of each cup, set aside.
• 2. Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla and almond extracts until smooth. Slowly add eggs and sour cream, mix until creamy. Stir in chopped SNICKERS® Bars.
• 3. Spoon mixture into muffin cups and bake in a preheated 375°F oven until set, about 25 minutes. Cool completely and refrigerate until ready to serve. To serve:
• 4. Combine coconut with a few drops of food coloring to desired shade of green. Arrange on top of cheesecakes to resemble a nest. Fill nests with M&M'S® Brand Speckled Chocolate Eggs. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and put a gingersnap in each cup.
• Stir the gelatin into the warm water in a microwave-safe bowl until mostly dissolved; let stand 5 minutes, then microwave in 10-second intervals until melted.
• Combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, pumpkin puree, heavy cream, gelatin mixture, pie spice and vanilla in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until fluffy. Spread in the muffin cups over the gingersnaps and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
• Remove the cheesecakes from the muffin tins. Remove the liners and top with whipped cream and crushed gingersnaps.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place foiled muffin cups into mini-muffin tin (12 total).
• Add one vanilla wafer to each muffin cup.
• In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until smooth.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix until creamy.
• Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until the center is set and bounces back after lightly tapping it.
• Cool completely on wire rack.
• Refrigerate at least 3 hours, overnight is best.
• Top with fresh sliced berries, or berries with powdered sugar, whip cream or berry glaze before serving. Even try your favorite candy bar crushed.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Combine graham crumbs, 2 Tbsp. sugar and butter; press onto bottoms of 18 paper-lined muffin cups.
• Beat cream cheese, vanilla and remaining sugar with mixer until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Spoon over crusts.
• Bake 25 to 30 min. or until centers are almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 2 hours.
• Beat whipping cream with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; spread onto cheesecakes. Top with blueberries and zest.

Steps:

• Mix all of the cheesecake ingredients together (the cream cheese, lemon, icing sugar and double cream) make sure it is well mixed, and you are getting lots of air into the mixture. Also make sure the lemon juice and rind is mixed in evenly into the mixture.
• Heat up your butter until it is melted (either on the hob or in the microwave).
• Mash up your biscuits into tiny pieces and put them in a bowl and mix in your melted butter.
• Press your biscuit base into moulds (you can use cake cases or no mould, but I find it easier to use one than not).
• Pile your cheesecake mix on top of the biscuit base in each mould, smoothing down the mixture on top and then leave in the fridge until serving (leave in the fridge for a minimum of half an hour, as the cheesecake is much better when served cool). When they are ready to serve, simply pop them out of the moulds, and enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter; press mixture into the bottom of a 10" springform pan; set aside.
• Blend cream cheese and sugar together (in a food processor or with a medium-speed electric mixer) until smooth; add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition; add sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla; blend well; pour filling over the crust and spread evenly.
• Lay a sheet of aluminum foil that has been bent up slightly to form a "foil tent" over the top of pan and not touching cheesecake (this is to prevent overbrowning) then bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes (remove foil tent after 50-55 minutes) or until top is set.
• Combine sour cream and sugar; remove cheesecake from oven and immediately spread sour cream mixture over its top; return cheesecake to oven for 5 minutes to set topping; remove from oven.
• Cool cheesecake on wire rack; cover and refrigerate to chill thoroughly.
• Just before serving remove sides of springform pan and transfer cheesecake to serving platter; garnish cheesecake with berries (we like chilled cherry pie filling on top) and serve.
• OPTIONAL: Just before pressing the graham crust into the bottom of the springform pan, spray the pan's inner sides with a little no-stick cooking spray, sprinkle a spoonful of combined graham cracker crumbs and sugar into the pan, then tilt and spread that mixture around so that it sticks to the coated sides and later adds to the visual appeal of your finished cheesecake.
