Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.
  3. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Spoon about a tablespoon of the crust mixture into each liner, pressing it down firmly.
  4. Bake for about 5-6 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in sugar and vanilla extract.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the centers jiggle slightly. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  9. Remove from the muffin tin and top with your favorite toppings before serving.
