Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are moistened. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until well combined.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts, filling each liner almost to the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set. Let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Drizzle the cooled caramel sauce over the chilled mini cheesecakes just before serving.
