Description
Velvety, melt-in-your-mouth cheesecakes with a shatteringly crisp graham cracker base, perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup pink food coloring
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Mini cupcake liners
- Heart-shaped sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Press: Mix graham crumbs and melted butter until moistened. Press into mini liners until compact and domed.
- Whip: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
- Fold: Gently fold in whipped cream until airy. Add pink coloring until desired shade is achieved.
- Fill: Spoon filling over crusts, leaving a rim for setting. Smooth the top.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
- Finish: Top with heart sprinkles before serving.
Notes
Do not overmix the filling to maintain airy texture. Chill long enough to prevent gooey mess and aim for firm crusts.
