These adorable Small Batch Mini Cheesecakes are perfect for when you’re craving a sweet treat but don’t want to bake a full-sized cake! With a buttery biscuit crust and creamy cheesecake filling, these are an indulgence worth every bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 75g biscuits (e.g., digestive or graham crackers)

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 220g cream cheese
  • 50g Greek yogurt or sour cream

    • Add the egg and mix gently until just combined.
  • Fill and Bake:
    • Divide the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crusts in the muffin tins.
    • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are slightly jiggly.
