Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). Next, gather your muffin tin and line it with cupcake liners for easy removal. To prepare the crust, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar, blending until smooth. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and flour until just combined.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling into each muffin liner, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. Allow the cheesecakes to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
- While the cheesecakes chill, prepare the blackberry compote by simmering the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until the berries begin to burst and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, remove the cheesecakes from the fridge. Top each mini cheesecake with a spoonful of blackberry compote and a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
For a unique flavor profile, try adding a tablespoon of lemon or orange zest to the filling. Adjust the sweetness of the compote to taste.
