  • Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini cheesecakes

Ingredients

Scale
  • Graham Crust:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Cheesecake Filling:
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • Peach Topping:
  • 1½ cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned, drained)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tsp water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  2. Make graham crust: combine crumbs, sugar, and melted butter; press 1 tbsp into each liner and bake 5 minutes. Cool slightly.
  3. Make cheesecake filling: beat cream cheese until smooth, add honey, then eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla and sour cream. Mix in flour and salt. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Divide batter among liners (¾ full) and bake 18–22 minutes until centers are set but slightly jiggly. Cool in oven 10 minutes, then chill at least 2 hours.
  5. Prepare peach topping: simmer peaches, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla 5–7 minutes. For thicker sauce, add cornstarch slurry and cook 1–2 minutes. Cool completely.
  6. Assemble: spoon peach topping over chilled cupcakes. Optional: garnish with honey drizzle, mint, or whipped cream.

  • Freezer: Freeze without topping, up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before topping.
