Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Filling

  • 226.8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.125 cup sour cream

Red Velvet Swirl

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon red food coloring gel or liquid
  • 0.5 teaspoon white vinegar

Crust

  • 1.5 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.33 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar until combined.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, red food coloring, and white vinegar until smooth. Add this mixture to the cheesecake batter and swirl gently with a toothpick for a marbled effect. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups over the crust. Fill about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
  • Let the cheesecakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For a smoother red velvet swirl, make sure your red food coloring and vinegar are well combined before adding to the batter. Enjoy these delightful mini cheesecakes!
