Amazing Mini Cheesecakes Recipe

[@ccnola]

AMAZING! Baked these in 4 oz mason jars (filled to the neck of jar) @325° in a water bath for 30 min (internal temp 145°). They didn't sink in the middle! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe! 13 mini mason jars.

[@YouMatterAndYouAreLoved]

I'm changing what I wrote, because after doing some online research, I found out what I did wrong. Don't go overboard, pressing the crust down. Barely do it. I pressed mine too much and it was hard and crunchy, which I don't like. Also, don't take the little cakes out of the wrapper, until completely cool, otherwise, the wrapper will tear the cake apart. As usual, this recipe was delicious! I've tried several of his recipes and they always turn out great. Just remember: It can be tricky making this, and takes some practice. You'll get it! This is the best cheesecake I've ever had. I also love his bubbly, easy going, and fun personality! THANK YOU Preppy Kitchen. five stars, of course! 🙂

[@lilyleung2237]

Did you refrigerate it?

[@YouMatterAndYouAreLoved]

@@lilyleung2237 yes. I did. I saw on someone else's video (on making cheesecake), to just bake the crust at 325 for 10 minutes. I tried that, when I made another cheesecake (Preppy Kitchens wonderful recipe), and the crust turned out fabulous! Perfect. Going forward, that's the only thing I'll change from his recipe. Crust, 325 for 10 minutes only. Reply

To all your fans I say stay in, protect yourself and enjoy John and do some cooking. Wishing everyone good health!!

[@Ryan-pi4go]

It was more than 2 weeks.

[@vickyb9900]

I made these about a month ago! Just for me. Lol! So after they cooked and cooled, I placed them on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer until they were frozen. Then I put them in a Tupperware container with a piece of parchment paper between the layers. They’re phenomenal I take them out of the freezer and they are thawed in about 15 minutes or so. And they are just as good as they were when they were freshly baked! I frozen with no toppings and I am making another batch as I’m having a buffet dinner party and this would just be great! Thank you for an awesome recipe! This is a keeper!

So many ruined cookies.... glad I found your channel where you let us know everything and I wasn't the only one having issues with tasty I checked the comments 🙄

[@bethstophel8344]

I made the mini cheesecakes for my daughters birthday and they loved them. I made the traditional crust not using the nuts, because I didn't have them, and I made an Oreo crust as well. I reserved half the batter and flavored it with lemon emulation and added fresh blueberries. The regular batter I added some mini chocolate chips and left some plain. They were delicious! Thank you for this great easy to follow recipe.

And I also made your whipped cream with mascarpone cheese. It was definitely a win! The amount of sugar is just right, the texture, everything. Thank you

You're my go to for recipes & tips. Love your channel. Also, Love the toasted pecan idea for the crust. Gonna give that a try tomorrow when I make them for my nephew's birthday.

[@chrishoman8841]

I made these tonight. I needed more melted butter, I used 18 graham crackers and 1/2 cup Almond flour (crushed up almonds), and sugar. I needed a whole stick of melted butter so things would hold together. I was able to get 24 mini cakes, no filling leftover, but about 1/2 a cup or so of crumbs. They came out great, and of course I had to test one, Yum! I also made a strawberry topping from frozen strawberries. I'll get to try that tomorrow on Thanksgiving. Thanks for the great recipe. You should have your own TV show.
