Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120g) dulce de leche
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar

For Garnish (optional):

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:

    • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
    • Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
    • Divide the mixture evenly among 12 mini tart shells or muffin tin cups, pressing firmly to form a compact crust.
    • Place the crusts in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the dulce de leche and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  3. Assemble the Mini Cheesecakes:

    • Spoon the filling evenly into the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
    • Refrigerate the assembled cheesecakes for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  4. Garnish and Serve:

    • Before serving, garnish each mini cheesecake with mini chocolate chips and a slice of fresh strawberry, if desired.
    • Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, you can bake the crusts at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes before adding the filling. Allow them to cool completely before assembling.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cheesecake, you can increase the powdered sugar in the filling to taste.
  • These mini cheesecakes can be topped with various garnishes such as caramel sauce, chopped nuts, or fresh berries to suit your preference.
