Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 12-cup mini cheesecake pan with nonstick spray.
In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until well combined.
Divide the crust mixture among the cavities of the cheesecake pan, pressing firmly into the bottoms with a small object.
Bake the crust for 5 minutes until fragrant, then remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 325°F.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing.
Adding red gel food coloring can enhance the visual appeal of the cheesecakes.
