Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup berry jam (strawberry, raspberry, or blueberry)
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter. Press about a teaspoon of the mixture into the bottom of each liner.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in vanilla and sour cream until just combined.
- Spoon the cheesecake batter over the crusts, filling each liner almost to the top.
- In a small bowl, stir the berry jam and water together to thin it slightly. Drop small dots of jam on top of each cheesecake and swirl gently with a toothpick.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until centers are set. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- Chilling the bites for at least 2 hours will enhance their flavor and texture.
- Feel free to use your favorite berry jam or a combination of jams!
