Ingredients

Scale

180 g biscuits Graham
70 g beurre fondu
2 c. à soupe sucre
450 g fromage à la crème
100 g sucre
2 oeufs
1 c. à café extrait de vanille
80 ml jus de citron frais
200 g fruits rouges frais (framboises, myrtilles, etc.)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F).
Prepare the crust by mixing 180 g of crushed Graham crackers, 70 g of melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl until it resembles wet sand. Divide the mixture among 12 muffin cups lined with paper liners, pressing it firmly into the bottom for a solid base.
In a separate bowl, whisk 450 g of room-temperature cream cheese until smooth. Add 100 g of sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 80 ml of fresh lemon juice. Mix gently until combined and smooth.
Pour the cream cheese filling over the crust in each muffin cup, filling them slightly below the rim. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are set, and the center has a slight jiggle.
Allow the cheesecakes to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
Before serving, top each cheesecake with 200 g of fresh red berries.
