Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

For the Berry Topping:

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

    Prepare the Crust:

      - In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.

        - Line a mini muffin tin with cupcake liners and press about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each liner. Press firmly to ensure an even crust.

          - Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until slightly golden. Remove and let cool.

            Make the Cheesecake Filling:

              - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

                - Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

                  - Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

                    Fill the Crusts:

                      - Spoon the cheesecake filling into each prepared crust, filling them about 3/4 full.

                        - Bake in the oven for an additional 15-18 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly.

                          - Remove them from the oven and let cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.

                            Prepare the Berry Topping:

                              - In a small bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat the berries, and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.

                                Assemble:

                                  - Once the cheesecakes are chilled, carefully remove them from the muffin tin and peel away the liners.

                                    - Top each mini cheesecake with a spoonful of the berry mixture. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf if desired.

                                      Serve:

                                        - Serve the mini cheesecake bites immediately or keep them refrigerated until ready to serve.
