Ingredients
Ingredients for Strawberry Cheesecakes:
1 1/2cupsgraham cracker crumbs, from 12 whole crackers
6Tbspunsalted butter, melted
16ozCream Cheese, from two 8 oz packages, softened
Preheat Oven to 350˚F. In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 6 Tbsp butter and stir together to moisten crumbs. Line standard sized 24-count muffin tins with paper liners and divide crumbs between 24 liners (about 1 Tbsp each). Press crumbs into base with fingers or a small spoon.
To make the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk, add 16 oz softened cream cheese and 3 eggs. Beat on high speed 5 min or until smooth, scraping down the bowl a couple of times. Add condensed milk and mix on low speed until blended (2 min), scraping down the bowl as needed.
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 or until set with a very slight jiggle in the center. Slight cracking is normal but if deep cracking occurs, they are over-baking. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature in pans then refrigerate until chilled.
To Decorate and Serve Cheesecakes:
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 fluffy then pipe swirls using a large open star tip over the center of each cheesecake. Place a halved strawberry over whipped cream.
