16 oz cream cheese, softened

Let’s Get Cooking!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat Your Oven: Start by getting your oven warmed up to 325°F (160°C). This way, it’s ready when you are!
Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of melted butter until it’s nice and combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand. Press this into the bottom of individual cheesecake molds or a muffin tin. You want it to be compact, so just use your fingers or the back of a spoon to really pack it in there.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 oz of softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until it’s smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Then, add in 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until combined and, oh my, it smells amazing!
Add the Eggs: Crack in 2 large eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition until everything is well blended and fluffy. You’ll want it to be silky smooth!
Fill the Molds: Pour that dreamy cream cheese mixture over the crusts in your molds, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake: Pop them in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The centers should be set, a little jiggle is fine, but it shouldn’t be runny!
Cool Down: Let those little beauties cool completely. I usually just pop them in the fridge for a couple of hours to chill out.
Top with Kiwi: Once cooled, carefully remove the cheesecakes from the molds and place them on a serving plate. Top each cheesecake with the sliced kiwi. It’s like jewel tones on creamy canvases, they look just stunning!
Chill Again: For the best texture, refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help them set up nicely.

Serving and Storage Tips

How to Serve This Cheesecake

These mini cheesecakes are adorable by themselves, but you could kick things up a notch by serving them with a drizzle of chocolate or some whipped cream on the side. Pairing them with coffee or tea makes for a delightful afternoon treat!

Storage

Store the mini cheesecakes in an airtight container in the fridge, and they’ll stay fresh for about 5 days. You’ll want to keep that vibrant kiwi on top fresh, so try not to prepare too far in advance if possible.

Freezing

Though these cheesecakes can be frozen, I recommend it without the kiwi topping. To freeze, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them inside a freezer-safe bag. They’ll hold up for about 2 months. Just thaw them in the fridge overnight before serving!

Reheating

No need to reheat these, they’re meant to be served cold! Just pull them out of the fridge when you’re ready to indulge.
