Cheesecake Single Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Press equal portions of the mixture into the bottoms of 24 lightly greased or lined muffin cups, making a firm crust.

- Spoon equal amounts of the cheesecake mixture into each prepared muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours before serving. Garnish as desired.
