Description

Delicious and creamy mini cheesecakes with a tropical pineapple topping and a crunchy graham cracker crust, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased muffin tin, forming a firm crust in each cup.
  4. Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar in another bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Fold in the drained pineapple chunks gently.
  7. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts in the muffin tin.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
  10. Drizzle with caramel sauce before chilling in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is softened properly for a smooth filling. Experiment with different toppings such as toasted coconut flakes or whipped cream.
