Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 12 Mini Cheesecakes

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups Graham Cracker crumbs 12 rectangles or 28 squares
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 ¾ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 ½ cups full fat cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 packed cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup rainbow Jimmie sprinkles plus extra for topping

Instructions

  • Prepare a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
  • Put the Graham Crackers into a food processor and process until you have fine crumbs. Alternatively, add them to a zip lock bag and use a rolling pin to bash them up into fine crumbs.
  • Add the melted butter to the food processor and process until combined. The cookie mixture should now look like damp sand.
  • Divide the cookie mixture between the 12 cupcake liners. Use the back of a spoon press the mixture into the muffin cups. Make sure to compact it very well into a layer on the bottom of the liner. Set aside while you make the cheesecake filling.
  • Add half of the heavy whipping cream to a mixing bowl. (Put the remaining heavy whipping cream back into the refrigerator to use as topping for the mini cheesecakes later.)
  • Whisk the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks.
  • In a separate bowl, add the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and creamy.
  • Add the whipped heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Add the sprinkles and gently fold them into the cheesecake mixture.
  • Divide the cheesecake mixture between the cupcake liners. Use the back of a spoon to level it.
  • Cover the cupcake pan with plastic clingwrap and put it into the freezer for 60 minutes.
  • When the mini cheesecakes have set. Remove them from the freezer.
  • Add the remaining heavy whipping cream to a bowl and whisk it to soft peaks.
  • Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe swirls on top of each mini cheesecake and add sprinkles to the top of each one to decorate.

Notes

  • Change up the crust by using crushed golden oreos or any other crushed cookie!
  • If you find it difficult to whisk the whipping cream by hand, you can use a hand mixer on low speed to make your whipped cream.
  • To make themed mini cheesecakes, use sprinkles coordinated with a holiday instead of multi colored sprinkles.
  • Store your funfetti mini cheesecakes in the fridge for 2 days, or store undecorated mini cheesecakes in the freezer for up to 1 month.
