Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces room temperature full fat, brick style cream cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large room temperature egg
- 1 sheet pre-made pie dough
- 1/3 cup blackberry jam
Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and line 6 cups of a muffin tin.
Step 2
In a small bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and the melted butter.
Step 3
Evenly divide this mixture into each lined cup of your tin and use the bottom of a spoon to form the crust. Place this in the oven to bake for 5 minutes and then remove and set aside.
Step 4
In a large bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and room temperature egg until smooth.
Step 5
Divide this batter evenly amongst each of the six lined cups.
Step 6
Place the muffin tin back in the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers of your cheesecakes are just set. Once finished, remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before moving to the refrigerator to further cool for one hour.
Step 7
Meanwhile, make your mini lattices. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and use a pizza cutter to slice the pie dough into 1/4 inch strips.
Step 8
Working on a lightly floured cookie sheet, weave the strips into a big lattice. Then, use a circle cutter or glass the same diameter of your cheesecakes to cut out 6 little lattice tops. (Leaving them on the pan while removing the surrounding excess - which can be frozen and saved.)
Step 9
Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 min, until just golden brown. Let cool.
Step 10
Assemble your cheesecakes by spreading a spoonful of jam on each one, and then top with a mini pie crust. Enjoy!
