Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce
-
- 1 cup chopped rhubarb
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons water
Crust
-
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons butter, melted
Cheesecake
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare liners: Preheat oven to 325°F and line muffin tins with 18 paper liners.
- Make the Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, salt, and water. Cook over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until the rhubarb is broken down and soft. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Firmly press 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each muffin liner.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, flour, and vanilla, blending until creamy. Mix in one egg at a time, just until combined, without overmixing. Gently fold in the sour cream until combined.
- Assemble the Cheesecakes: Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling into each muffin liner. Add 1 teaspoon of the cooled strawberry rhubarb sauce on top. Use a butter knife to swirl the sauce into the cheesecake. Then, top with an additional 2 tablespoons of cheesecake filling and a heaping teaspoon of sauce, swirling again for a decorative finish.
- Bake: Bake at 325°F for 30-40 minutes or until the centers are set and do not jiggle. Remove from the oven and cool completely in the refrigerator before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Store leftovers in an airtight container and enjoy these delectable mini cheesecakes chilled!
Notes
- Baking time may vary based on your muffin tin. Dark metal tins tend to cook faster.
