Instructions
Make the Crust:
Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
Press the mixture into muffin tins lined with paper cups or use silicone molds.
Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes while preparing the filling.
2. Make the Filling:
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mix.
If using, divide and color the mixture with pastel food coloring.
3. Assemble the Cheesecakes:
Spoon or pipe the filling over the crusts. Smooth the tops.
Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
