Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
4 ounces sour cream (1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon fruit preserves or jam
1/2 cup finely ground graham crackers (from 4 crackers)
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Make the cheesecakes: Beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add sugar. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes more. Reduce speed to low. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Raise speed to medium. Add sour cream, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat for 3 minutes.
Divide batter among six 6-ounce jars, filling each two-thirds full. Transfer jars to a deep baking dish; add enough boiling water to dish to reach halfway up the sides of the jars. Cover dish with foil; cut 8 slits into top to vent. Bake until set in the center, about 25 minutes. Let cool. Refrigerate overnight to set.
Meanwhile, make the graham topping: Stir together graham-cracker crumbs and butter. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10 minutes. Let cool.
Top each cheesecake with 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons preserves. Divide graham topping among jars (about 1 heaping tablespoon each).

Tips:

Use a high-quality cream cheese that is smooth and free of lumps.
Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help them combine smoothly.
Do not overbeat the cheesecake filling. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to become dense and crumbly.
Bake the cheesecakes in a water bath. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from cracking.
Chill the cheesecakes for at least 4 hours before serving. This will give them time to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These mini cheesecakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover graham cracker crumbs. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and decadent dessert that will impress your friends and family.
