Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from 12 whole crackers)
  • 6 Tbsp 6 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
For the filling
  • 16 oz 16 oz Cream Cheese (from two 8 oz packages, softened)
  • 3 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 14 oz 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (room temperature)
  • 1 cup 1 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)
  • 0.5 tsp 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
For the topping
  • 12 12 strawberries (halved)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 6 Tbsp of melted butter. Stir to moisten the crumbs.
  3. Line a standard 24-count muffin tin with paper liners.
  4. Divide the crumb mixture among the 24 liners, about 1 Tbsp each, and press the crumbs firmly into the base.
Filling
  1. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, combine 16 oz of softened cream cheese and 3 large eggs. Beat on high speed for 5 minutes until smooth.
  2. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix on low speed for about 2 minutes until fully blended.
  3. Evenly divide the cheesecake filling among the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
Baking and Cooling
  1. Bake in the preheated oven at 350˚F for 13-15 minutes, until the cheesecakes are set but still have a slight jiggle in the center.
  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature in the pans, then refrigerate until chilled.
Topping
  1. Make the whipped cream by beating together 1 cup of heavy cream with 1/2 tsp of vanilla and 1 Tbsp of sugar for about 2 minutes until fluffy.
  2. Pipe swirls of whipped cream on top of each cheesecake and place a halved strawberry on top.

Notes

Store the cheesecakes in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. Add the whipped cream or strawberry topping just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
