Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. Step 2

    Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.

  3. Step 3

    Divide crust mixture evenly among liners, pressing down gently to form a base.

  4. Step 4

    Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy, ~2 minutes with a mixer.

  5. Step 5

    Add egg and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined—do not overmix.

  6. Step 6

    Divide filling evenly among liners over the crusts.

  7. Step 7

    Bake for 18–20 minutes until edges are set but centers still jiggle slightly.

  8. Step 8

    Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then refrigerate at least 2 hours until cold.
