Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Funfetti Cheesecake

  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • rainbow sprinkles (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 12-cavity muffin pan with liners. Set aside.

Make The Graham Cracker Crust

  • In a mixing bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until it forms a wet sandy texture.

  • Fill each muffin liner with a heaping tablespoon of the crust mixture. Use a spoon to press it down firmly to form an even layer of crust.
  • Bake for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Let the pan rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes so the crust can cool.

Make The Funfetti Cheesecake

  • In a large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese on medium speed (use an electric hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment) until it's fluffy and creamed.

  • Add in the sugar, heavy whipping cream, flour, and vanilla extract. Beat together on medium speed for about 2 minutes or until it's really light and fluffy.
    1/2 cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each one, and mix just until incorporated.

  • Gently stir in the sprinkles using a wooden mixing spoon or spatula.
    1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • Fill each muffin liner 3/4 of the way full with funfetti cheesecake batter.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the center is almost set.
    Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool down to room temperature. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let it refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.

Make The Whipped Cream

  • When ready to serve prepare the whipped cream. Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer (or a stand mixer) and beat for 3-5 minutes until stiff peaks form. Start at low speed and increase speed as needed.

  • Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag with a large 1A tip, or use a ziplock bag and snip the corner off, and decorate the top of each mini cheesecake. Garnish with rainbow sprinkles.

Notes

Sprinkles : Do not use the little ball shaped sprinkles (called non-pareils) in this recipe. They bleed color very easily and they will turn the cheesecake batter a brownish color if used. Make sure you are using regular sprinkles that are larger in size (like the ones pictured in the post). 
Cream Cheese : Use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and thick creamy texture. Don't let the cream cheese sit at room temperature to soften for longer than 2 hours. You need 16 ounces total for the recipe which is equal to two 8-ounce bars of cream cheese.
