👩‍🍳How to make Cheesecake Cupcakes

Here are a few tips for baking a no bake cheesecake cupcake:

• To create the base for your cupcakes, opt for a firm crust that will hold up well. A classic and sturdy option is to mix crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits, like Biscoff, with melted butter.
• For a smooth and creamy texture, remember to let your cream cheese reach room temperature before you start. This will make it easier to whip and blend with other ingredients.
• After filling the cupcake liners with the cheesecake mixture, place them in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least a few hours or overnight. This will give the cupcakes time to set and become firmer.

📌Bonus Tip: spray the cupcake liners with non-stick baking spray so the cheesecake cupcakes remove easily!

❄️Freezing Tips

• Keep the cheesecake cupcakes in the liners, then place in a freezer bag or airtight container to freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, thaw in the refrigerator.

➡️Top Recipe Tip

• Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so it blends nicely.
• Unwrap the cheesecakes shortly after taking them out of the refrigerator so the liners don't stick. They may stick once the cheesecake has softened, so take them off while they're still firm.

Method

 

For the Crust:

1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the graham crackers with the melted butter and granulated sugar.
2. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
3. Put about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each liner.
4. Press firmly and evenly on the the crumbs with the bottom of a juice glass or a tart tamper.
5. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the cheesecake mixture.

For the Cheesecake Filling:

1. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to combine the cream cheese with the powdered sugar, lemon extract, and vanilla extract.
2. Blend until smooth. Set aside while you prepare the whipped cream.
3. In another mixing bowl, using a whip attachment, whip the heavy whipping cream until it thickens and peaks form.
4. Fold it into the cream cheese mixture gently. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes. Do not rush this step or you will deflate the whipped cream. Fold until you no longer see streaks of the whipped cream and everything is blended together.
5. Add the cheesecake mixture on top of the graham cracker crusts. You can use a cookie scoop or fill a piping bag to pipe the filling on top of the crusts.
6. Cover the muffin pan with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours.
7. When ready to serve, top each cheesecake with sliced strawberries.
