Instructions
- Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or a ziplock bag with a rolling pin.
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles damp sand.
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and divide the crumb mixture evenly among the cups. Press firmly into the bottoms.
- Chill the crusts in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the cream cheese and mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling onto the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops.
- Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 3-4 hours or overnight until set.
- Decorate the set cheesecakes with whipped cream, green-dyed shredded coconut, mini chocolate eggs, and pastel sprinkles.
Notes
For a chocolate version, use crushed Oreos for the crust and add cocoa powder to the filling. For fruity cheesecakes, top with fresh berries or swirl in fruit preserves. Store in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze undecorated for up to 2 months. Let thaw in fridge before decorating.
