Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust
- 9 Graham Cracker Sheets (a whole sleeve of Nabisco’s graham crackers)
- 6 tablespoons Granulated White Sugar
- 3 ½ tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
- 5 tablespoons Butter (melted, plus additional 1 tablespoon if needed)
Cream Cheese Filling
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (room temperature)
- 3 tablespoons Sour Cream
- 3 tablespoons Granulated White Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Egg Yolk
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and place a silicone baking mold with 12 small cylinder molds (2″ wide by approx. 0.9″ deep) on a small baking sheet.
- Prepare graham cracker crumbs: In a food processor, combine graham crackers with both sugars and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and blend. If crumbs are not sticky enough to hold, add an additional tablespoon of melted butter. Alternatively, crush graham crackers using a plastic bag and mallet.
- Form crust: Press 1 tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs firmly into the bottom of each silicone mold cavity to create the sandwich base.
- Mix cream cheese filling: In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy.
- Add filling: Spoon approximately 1 ½ tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on top of each graham cracker crust in the molds.
- Add top crust: Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumbs over the cheesecake filling, gently pressing down to cover the top and create the sandwich effect, ensuring the top is level and sealed.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the centers are set when lightly pressed and the crusts are lightly browned.
- Cool and chill: Let the cheesecake sandwiches cool to room temperature, then refrigerate in the molds for at least 2 hours to set properly.
- Serve: Invert each mold and pop out the cheesecake sandwiches. Serve with strawberry, caramel, raspberry, or chocolate syrup as desired.
Notes
- Be sure to use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest mixture.
- If graham cracker crumbs don’t stick well, add a bit more melted butter.
- The silicone mold should be roughly 2 inches wide and about 0.9 inches deep; any similar mold will work.
- These cheesecake sandwiches keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- For variations, try adding lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for a citrus twist.
- Make sure to press the top crust crumbs firmly to avoid crumbling when removing from molds.
