Mini Red Velvet Cheesecakes: An Incredible 5-Step Recipe


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cups cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 tablespoons red food coloring
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon white vinegar
– 1 cup whipped cream cheese frosting (for topping)


Instructions

Creating Mini Red Velvet Cheesecakes is an enjoyable process. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, buttermilk, red food coloring, baking soda, and vinegar. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
4. Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each cupcake liner, filling them about ¾ full.
5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow them to set.
6. Top with Frosting: Once cooled, pipe or spread the whipped cream cheese frosting on top of each mini cheesecake.
