Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons assorted jams, warmed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press gently onto bottoms of 9 paper-lined muffin cups.
  2. In another small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add egg; beat on low speed just until combined. Spoon over crusts.
  3. Bake 15-16 minutes or until centers are set. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Remove paper liners; top each cheesecake with 1 teaspoon jam.

Test Kitchen tips
  • The key to the creamiest cheesecake is to not overbake it. It's a good idea to start checking on baked goods a few minutes earlier than the recommended time in case your oven runs hot.
  • Time is of the essence with many desserts, but cheesecake is one that actually tastes better the next day and has a shelf life of up to a few days. Cheesecake also freezes beautifully. Good news for your party planning!
