Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup sugar
• 5 tablespoons melted butter

For the cheesecake filling:

• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tsp gingerbread flavoring
• A few drops of brown food coloring gel (optional, for color)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and prepare the pan
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

Step 2: Make the crust
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Scoop about a tablespoon of the crust mixture into each liner. Press it down firmly using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a small glass.

Step 3: Make the cheesecake filling
First, in a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer. Continue beating until it is smooth and fluffy. Add the sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Add the egg and mix until light and fluffy. Blend in sour cream, vanilla, gingerbread flavoring, and brown food coloring gel if using.

Step 4: Fill and bake
Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly into the liners, filling them about ¾ full. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the centers are just set and slightly jiggly.

Step 5: Cool and chill
Let the cheesecakes cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. After that, transfer them to the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best results.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy
Once chilled, remove the liners. Serve your mini cheesecakes topped with a dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip. Add a sprinkle of holiday sprinkles or crushed gingersnaps. Finish with a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra holiday magic.

Tips

• Don’t overbake — the centers should jiggle slightly when you remove them from the oven.
• Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
• These store beautifully in the fridge for up to 4 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
