Instructions
1
Prep
Preheat oven to 325F and line one muffin cavity with a paper liner. Stir graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together until sandy.
2
Build
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the cavity base using a spoon to form a compact, even layer.
3
Bake
Bake the crust at 325F for 5 minutes until lightly golden and set to the touch.
4
Cream
Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with a hand whisk until smooth and lump-free, about 1 minute.
5
Fold
Add the egg, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest; whisk until just combined and glossy without overbeating.
6
Bake
Pour filling over the crust and bake at 325F for 15 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
7
Chill
Refrigerate for at least 2.5 hours until fully set and firm.
8
Plate
Remove the paper liner and place the cheesecake bite on a small plate to serve.
