Christmas Cheesecake Bites
This holiday season, bake creamy Christmas cheesecake bites with a buttery graham cracker crust, a delicious cheesecake filling, and a cute green or white tree drizzle with sprinkles.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 ½ cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 5 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons White Granulated Sugar
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese room temperature
- ⅔ cup Sour Cream
- ⅔ cup White Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Christmas Tree Topper
- White Almond Bark, White Candy Melts, or White Chocolate
- Green Candy Melts
- Mini Ball Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325℉. Line a 9"x9" square baking pan with parchment paper so that the paper hangs over the sides for easy lifting later.
- Mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar so that it has a sandy consistency. Press into the bottom of the parchment paper in the pan.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix. Do not overbeat the eggs. Pour on top of the crust.
- Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, until it is no longer jiggly in the center. Let cool on a wire rack. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours, until it is very firm.
- Remove the plastic wrap and lift the cheesecake from the pan with the parchment paper. Cut the cheesecake into 8 rows by 8 rows to make 64 squares. Clean the knife after each cut to keep clean rows.
- Heat the almond bark or candy melts in the microwave and stir at 30-second intervals until melted through. Pour the melted almond bark into an icing bag or Ziploc bag with the corner cut. Drizzle a tree shape on top of each square and add sprinkles before each one dries.
