Ingredients
Scale
100g graham cracker crumbs
30g granulated sugar
1g salt
60g melted butter
451g cream cheese
100g granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
5ml vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
120g heavy cream
150g chopped chocolate
Fresh strawberries, quartered
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, and melted butter in a bowl. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and press the mixture into each liner.
Pre-bake the crust for 8 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
Beat together cream cheese, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing well between additions.
Whip egg whites in a separate bowl until frothy and gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Divide the filling among the muffin liners and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes.
Chill the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Prepare ganache by heating heavy cream and pouring it over chopped chocolate; stir until smooth.
Once chilled, pour ganache over each cheesecake and top with quartered strawberries.
Notes
Avoid overbaking to prevent cracks in the cheesecakes. Ensure chilling time is followed for flavor and texture.
