Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

How to Make Mini Caramel Cheesecakes

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
3. Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
5. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
6. Fold in the 1/2 cup of caramel sauce until just combined.
7. Evenly pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crusts, filling each liner about 3/4 full.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cheesecakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours before serving.
11. Before serving, top each cheesecake with fresh strawberry slices and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth batter.
• Don’t skip the chilling time; it helps the cheesecakes set properly.
• Use high-quality caramel sauce for the best flavor.
• Keep an eye on the cheesecakes while baking to avoid overcooking.

Easy Variations

• Swap out strawberries for other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the caramel sauce for a salted caramel version.
• Incorporate chocolate chips into the batter for a chocolatey twist.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess
• A cup of coffee or espresso to balance the sweetness
• A fruit salad for a refreshing contrast
