Equipment

  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • Spoon
  • 4 8 oz. Ramekins oven-safe
  • Whisk or hand mixer with whisk attachment
  • Baking Sheet with high sides

Ingredients
  

  • 4 count graham cracker sheets crushed
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 count eggs room temperature

Instructions

  • Set your cream cheese and eggs on the counter until they are room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and coconut oil until combined. It will look like wet sand when you are done.
  • Get your ramekins out and divide the graham cracker mix into 4 portions.
  • Spoon the mix into the bottom of your ramekins and use the back of a spoon to pack tightly.
  • Parbake the crusts for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven.
  • While those are cooking - In a large bowl, add your softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs.
    Whisk until silky smooth.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture into 8 oz. ramekins, leaving about a half inch of space at the top.
  • Place the filled ramekins on a baking tray with a lip and pour about 2 cups of water on the bottom of the tray.
    This creates steam in the oven to reduce the chance of your cheesecakes cracking.
  • Bake for about 25 - 28 minutes.
    Cheesecakes will be lightly golden-brown on the top and the middle will be just set.
  • Remove the pan, and let the cheesecakes cool for about 10 minutes.
    Top with your favorite toppings (fruit, caramel, nuts, and/or whipped cream) and enjoy!

Notes

Equipment Notes:
This makes enough for 4 cheesecake cups when using 8 oz. ramekins.
If you have a plastic storage bag, you can add the graham cracker sheets to the bag, remove the air and seal it, and then roll over the bag with a rolling pin.
