How Do You Make Skinny Mini Cheesecake?
In a food processor or blender, grind up the graham cracker sheets into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, simply place them into a bag and crush them with a rolling pin or cup.Place the crumbs into a bowl and add ground cinnamon and sugar. Melt the butter and add it to the graham cracker crumbs and mix well.Line a cupcake pan with liners and put one tablespoon of the crumbs into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Press down the crumbs with your hand or spoon. Set aside.In a large bowl or kitchenaid, whip the cream cheese, vanilla, sugar (or splenda) until fluffy. Add the cool whip and whip until smooth.Using a cookie dough scooper (or spoon), fill each cupcake liner with 1 ½ scoop fulls of the cheesecake mixture. Each liner should be filled almost to the top.Place the cupcakes in the fridge for a few hours to set up and become firm. Top with a slice of your favorite fruit and devour!!
Can You Freeze Mini Cheesecake?
Yes, you can! Cheesecake freezes very well! These are perfect to leave in the freezer and take one out at a time. You can leave it in the fridge to thaw and then enjoy once they soften. If you would like to individually wrap them and store in the freezer for easier access or using a Tupperware to store them is great option too. If you need the dessert sooner than later, set it out for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature and enjoy when those cravings happen instantly.
To Freeze: Place the cooled cheesecake on a baking sheet and freeze, uncovered until firm. From here you will wrap each cheesecake tightly with either aluminum foil, plastic freezer wrap or place in a freezer bag. These will last about 2 to 3 months in the freezer. You can thaw the cheesecake in the refrigerator over night.To Refrigerate: Place in an air tight container to store in the refrigerator. Cheesecake tastes best at room temperature. These will last about 1 week in the refrigerator.
