Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Cheesecakes New York Style
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with parchment liners.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Add melted unsalted butter and mix until resembling wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner and bake for about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing on low speed. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
- Evenly distribute the cheesecake batter over the baked crusts and gently tap the tin to eliminate air bubbles.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the centers are set but slightly jiggly. Consider using a water bath for optimal results.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door open; allow mini cheesecakes to cool in the oven for about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Add toppings before serving.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to avoid cracking, and mix gently to prevent overmixing.
