The Great Cheesecake Experiment

February 20th, 2010 by admin

Tonight we are trying attempt #2 at the perfect mini cheesecake recipe.  Here’s the ingredient list:

Crust:

12 halves of graham crackers, crushed into crumbs (about 1 cup)

3 tablespoons brown sugar

4 tablespoons (half stick) butter, room temperature

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Filling:

3 blocks cream cheese, slightly softened

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Beat butter, graham crackers, brown sugar, and cinnamon on low to medium speed until crumbly.

Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together until creamy.  Add eggs one at a time and beat until smooth.  Spoon crust mixture into 12 muffin cups then top with filling mixture.  This will yield a significant extra amount of filling, but as for now I am focused more on perfecting the correct ratios of ingredients than the outcome of leftovers.

Bake at 350 degrees for fifteen minutes to half an hour or until filling is slightly browned and firm to the touch.  Let cool before serving.
