Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz graham cracker crumbs
- 2 (8 oz) packages full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (divided into 1 cup and ½ cup)
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Determine the amount of graham cracker crumb to use based on cup size: 2 tablespoons for 9 oz cups (8 servings) or 1 tablespoon for 4-6 oz cups (12-16 servings).
- Place a metal or glass mixing bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
- Remove the metal mixing bowl from the freezer. Add the heavy whipping cream, ½ cup of powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat until the whipping cream has stiff peaks, around 4-5 minutes.
- Gently add the cream cheese mixture to the whipped cream and mix on low speed for 1-2 minutes until blended.
- Place the cheesecake filling in a piping bag and pipe into the cups, filling them about ¾ full.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for 1-2 hours, covering them with plastic wrap for longer storage.
- Top the cheesecake with desired toppings just before serving.
