Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare your mini cupcake liners in a muffin tin.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sugar, beating on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Blend in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
  4. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition until combined.
  5. Combine crushed graham crackers with melted unsalted butter and mix until resembling wet sand.
  6. Scoop the crust mixture into each cupcake liner and press down firmly.
  7. Pour the creamy cheesecake filling over the crust in each liner, filling them about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the centers are slightly jiggly and tops look set.
  9. Let the mini cheesecakes cool in the tin for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Chill the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours before serving.
  11. Before serving, bring to room temperature and top with festive sprinkles.
