Ingredients
1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup Granulated sugar
1/3 cup Unsalted butter, melted
16 oz Cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Powdered sugar
1/2 cup Sour cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 cup Fresh blackberries
1 cup Heavy whipping cream
As needed Additional blackberries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C)
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each liner to form the crust
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined
- Add the sour cream and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy
- Fold in the fresh blackberries gently, being careful not to break them apart
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts in the muffin tin, filling each liner about 3/4 full
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cheesecakes to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes
- Transfer the cheesecakes to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results
- Before serving, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Top each mini cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh blackberry for garnish
Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth and creamy filling.
Don’t overmix the filling once you add the blackberries to maintain their whole shape.
Let the cheesecakes cool before refrigerating to avoid condensation forming on top.
