Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cranberries)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cranberries (for topping)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with liners. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared muffin tin.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust.
  3. Prepare the Sugared Cranberries: In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are coated. Let them cool.
  4. Assemble the Cheesecake Bites: Top the cheesecake filling with the sugared cranberries.
  5. Bake the Cheesecake Bites: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cheesecake bites with whipped cream, fresh cranberries, fresh mint leaves, and powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure the cheesecake bites are well-cooled before serving for best texture and presentation. You can substitute cranberries with raspberries or blackberries, and use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
