Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 6 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs with 5 tablespoons melted butter until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottoms of mini muffin tins or silicone molds to form a base layer. This crust will bake into a golden, crisp foundation.
- Melt the white chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, melt 6 ounces white chocolate, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Set aside to cool slightly before adding to the filling.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup sour cream until smooth and creamy. Add 2 eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Fold in the melted white chocolate and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until silky and combined.
- Assemble the cheesecakes: Pour the filling over the prepared crusts, filling each mini mold about three-quarters full. Drop a few fresh blueberries into each for juicy bursts of flavor inside the cheesecake.
- Bake and cool: Bake cheesecakes at 325°F (160°C) for 18-22 minutes, until centers are mostly set but slightly jiggly. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to firm up completely.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with additional fresh blueberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar to add freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Do not overbake; cheesecakes should jiggle slightly in the center when removed to prevent dryness.
- Fresh blueberries provide the best flavor and texture; if using frozen, thaw and drain well.
- Line molds with silicone liners or lightly grease to ease removal of mini cheesecakes.
- Refrigerate thoroughly to allow flavors to meld and cheesecakes to set properly.
