  • For the filling
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese,at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • For the topping
  • 500 grams fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners and lightly coat with cooking spray.

  2. Make the crust: Stir butter and graham crackers together. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the mixture onto the bottoms of the cupcake liners and pat down.

  3. Make the filling: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Lower speed and gradually add sugar; beat until smooth. Add vanilla and sour cream; beat until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour; beat until combined.

  4. Pour batter into prepared pan until three-fourths full. Bake until just set in the center, about 18 to 20 minutes. Cool cakes in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely. Refrigerate overnight.

  5. Make the topping: In a saucepan, combine half of the strawberries with sugar. Gently mash strawberries with a fork and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Add dissolved cornstarch and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and remaining strawberries. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely. Refrigerate in an airtight container.

  6. Assemble the cupcakes: Spoon about 1 tablespoon strawberry topping onto each chilled cheesecake and serve immediately.
