Total Time35 minutes mins
Servings: 9 cheesecakes
Base
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (150 grams)
- ¼ cup melted butter (unsalted) (60 grams)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Cheesecake Filling
- 1¾ cups whipping/heavy cream (35% fat) (5 ounces)
- 1 ¼ cups cream cheese, softened (350 grams)
- ½ cup powdered sugar (85 grams)
- ½ cup white chocolate, melted and cooled (100 grams)
For the base
In a large bowl, use a fork to mix together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
Pour in the butter and continue to mix with the fork until all of the crumbs are coated with the butter.
Divide the crumbs between the muffin tray or tin and press down with the back of spoon until they are tightly packed.
Place in the fridge while you make the filling.
For the cheesecake filling
Using either a stand mixer or handheld mixer, whip the heavy cream until it holds stiff peaks. Transfer to a bowl and keep it cold in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
Next, use the stand mixer or handheld mixer to whip together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and melted white chocolate. Keep mixing until everything is smooth.
Add one-third of the whipped heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture and continue whipping until everything is combined.
Assemble the mini cheesecakes
Remove the muffin tray or tin from the fridge and use a spoon or ice cream scoop to place the whipped cheesecake filling on top of each graham cracker base. Make sure to fill them to the top.
Level off the filling with a knife or offset spatula so you have a flat surface and place the muffin tray/tin into the fridge for 20 minutes.
This recipe will make 9 - 12 mini cheesecakes depending on the size of your muffin tray or tin.
- Make sure the cream cheese has come to room temperature before whipping with the sugar and white chocolate.
- Melt the white chocolate in 10 second intervals in a microwave safe dish. Stir after each interval until fully melted. This should take 20 - 30 seconds.
- Allow the white chocolate to cool slightly before adding it to the cream cheese.
