Hi everyone its Natasha of Natashaskitchen.com and on this episode I'm going to
show you how to make a party favorite. You will love the flavor texture and how
easy these are. Pre-heat your oven to 350˚F and we'll start with
the easy crust. This recipe makes 24 mini cheesecakes so
line your cupcake pan with 24 liners. Crush 12 whole graham crackers to make
one and a half cups of crumbs. Add 6 tablespoons of melted butter and half a
teaspoon of cinnamon and stir well to combine.
Once the crumbs are evenly moistened, divide them between your 24 cupcake
liners, adding about one tablespoon to each. Push the crumbs into the base and
slightly up the sides using a small spoon or your fingers and there's no
need to pre bake the crust so it doesn't get any easier than this. To make the
cheesecake filling, all you need are three ingredients. In a large mixing bowl
combine 16 ounces of softened cream cheese with 3 large eggs at room
temperature. Use an electric hand mixer to beat those together for 5 minutes on
high speed or until blended and smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed and
here is the secret ingredient - add a 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
and continue mixing that on low speed for 2 minutes or until well blended. It
should be completely smooth, without any lumps. Now divide between the cupcake
liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Using a leveled ice cream scoop with the
trigger release makes this process so easy.
Now bake those at 350˚F in the center of your oven for 15
minutes. When they're done, they should be set with a very slight jiggle in the
center. If you notice them start cracking in the oven, pull them out so they don't
over bake. Let the cheesecakes cool completely to room temperature in the
pan then spoon over 1/2, to 1 tablespoon of homemade caramel sauce. I'll leave a
link to our salted caramel sauce in the notes below. Refrigerate those for 2
hours then make the easy whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl combine one cup
of cold heavy whipping cream, a tablespoon of sugar and half a teaspoon
of vanilla extract. Beat those together with an electric mixer on high speed for
2 minutes or until whipped and fluffy. Transfer that to a piping bag, fitted
with a closed star tip and divide the cream evenly over your 24 cheesecakes.
Adding that swirl of whipped cream makes these feel really fancy and classy.
Oh shoot! Am I really gonna run out of whipped cream? Nobody saw, whoops.
Probably was a little too generous with those first ones. Yeah... Okay and just for
a little bit of garnish on top I love to sprinkle on some cinnamon and don't go
crazy with this, you just need a little bit. And I'm gonna use my cinnamon wand.
This thing's fun for powdered sugar too. Okay here we go, just a little bit, but it
makes these look so fancy and pretty. And last but not least, I want to eat one of
these so let's get right into the taste test. Okay, they all look amazing. It's
hard to choose. Okay, here we go - one with a lot of caramel because I love the
caramel. This one, this one, this one.
Oh my goodness! These are such a treat in fall and they're perfect for parties
because as you can see, it makes a big batch and perfect for me. Oh my goodness!
Look at this. The layers look amazing! You can serve
them in the wrapper or take the wrapper off, whatever you like. Oh my... come to mama!
Hmm...
These are so good, it really is just like a mini cheesecake. The texture is amazing,
velvety smooth, creamy, taste like a mini New York cheesecake and they're so easy.
You really can't beat this and then that big poof of whipped cream on top makes
these so special. YUM! I think I'm gonna add one more caramel sauce because... wow!
This caramel sauce, I'm telling you guys! It is really really, really good. Homemade,
so you know exactly what goes into it and I will share a link to the recipe
below. You think that's enough? I think it's enough. You can't see the whipped
cream anymore but okay. I have to bite it again because I can't not bite that.
Seriously, I feel like things are about to get inappropriate so I better go eat
this over there. Oh wow! If you guys enjoyed this video, give me a great big
