How to Make Mini Strawberry Cheesecakes:

1. Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Pulse graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor, high powered blender, or place in a large ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin. In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 6 Tbsp butter and stir together to moisten crumbs. Line 24 count standard-sized cupcake or muffin tins with paper liners and divide crumbs between 24 liners (about 1 Tbsp in each). Press the crumbs into the base with fingers or a small spoon.

2. To make the filling: In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, add 16 oz softened cream cheese and 3 eggs. Beat on high speed 5 minutes or until smooth, scraping down the bowl a couple of times. Add condensed milk and mix on low speed until blended (2 minutes), scraping down the bowl as needed.

3. Divide filling evenly between cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full (For easy portioning, use a leveled ice cream scoop). Bake in preheated oven at 350˚F for 13-15 mins. They should be set with a very slight jiggle in the center. Slight cracking is normal but if you notice deep cracking they are over-baking. Remove from oven and let them cool to room temperature in the pans then refrigerate until chilled.

4. To serve: top with chilled strawberry sauce (recipe here). Make whipped cream by beating together 1 cup heavy cream with 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 Tbsp sugar for about 2 mins on high speed or until thick and fluffy then pipe swirls using a large open star tip over the center of each cheesecake. Place a halved strawberry over each swirl of cream.

    Hey Natasha, I’m thinking of making these for Easter and I will be making them the day before, would you recommend I add the strawberry sauce and frosting/ whipped cream day before or better to do right before event?

    Hi! I’m looking forward to trying this recipe but I’m confused as to whether you are using standard sized cupcake pans or mini sized cupcakes pan. The pictures look like standard but the link looks like mini. Also, does it matter?

    Thank you! I enjoy so many of your recipes!

      Hi Kim, we used standard sized 24-count muffin tins. These are called “mini” since its a mini version of a full size cheesecake. I hope that helps.

    Hi Natasha, I’m going to attempt these for an event. I saw that you used Philly’s cream cheese. I don’t eat cheese so I don’t know the difference but would it fine substitute good and gather’s cream cheese? is there a taste difference?

      Hi Kelly, from some quick research, it looks like that brand is just regular plain cream cheese and you can use any brand of regular cream cheese here. I would avoid any flavored cream cheese.
