Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until the mixture is smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheesecakes are set and slightly puffed.
- While the cheesecakes are cooling, prepare the raspberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Spoon the raspberry sauce over the cooled cheesecakes and serve.
