Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until fully combined.
- Press crust mixture firmly into each muffin cup.
- Bake crusts for 5 minutes, then remove and cool slightly.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
- Stir in sour cream until batter is smooth.
- Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with cheesecake batter.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until centers are slightly set.
- Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then chill for at least 3 hours.
- Top with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
- Toast marshmallows using a torch or broiler until golden brown.
Notes
- Make sure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps in the cheesecake filling.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding eggs, as this can cause cracks while baking.
- Press the crust firmly into the liners so it holds together after baking.
- Bake just until the centers are slightly set. Overbaking can make the cheesecake dry.
- Chill the cheesecakes for at least 3 hours for the best texture and clean shape.
- Add marshmallows and chocolate only after the cheesecakes are fully chilled.
- Toast marshmallows carefully. They can burn very quickly under a broiler or torch.
- If using a broiler, keep the oven door slightly open and watch closely.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For best taste, serve slightly chilled but not too cold so the texture stays creamy.
