Mini Maple Cheesecakes

We beloved the basis of mini desserts these days; amongst an "empty nest", mini desserts are an easy ameliorate agency to battle the mega-calories that a big ole' cheesecake inward the refrigerator tempts us with.

Picky-picky married adult man LOVES all things maple, in addition to thence I've been on a search for a maple cheesecake for a long time. This recipe is a combination of several other recipes combined amongst my ain personal tweaks. WE
are real pleased amongst the results; they are sweet, polish to the tongue, maple-y in addition to super slow to make.

CRUMB CRUST
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter

Mix until good combined; I practise this inward a plastic nutrient pocketbook (saves on build clean up). 

Preheat your oven to 275° in addition to set newspaper cupcake liners inward a cupcake pan.

Put a slightly rounded tablespoon of crumb mixture into each newspaper liner in addition to press down.

CHEESECAKE FILLING
8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
1/3 loving cup REAL maple syrup (I've never tried pancake syrup)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon maple extract
1 egg
2 tablespoons flour

Beat the cream cheese until it is fluffy in addition to good mixed. While the mixer is running, drizzle inward the maple syrup (scrape the sides of the bowl downwards if necessary).

Beat inward the egg, extracts in addition to flour until smooth.

Pour over the crumb crusts, filling most to the top.

Bake at 275° for xxx to 35 minutes or until set. 

NOTE: My electrical oven took 35 minutes to bake these because my maple syrup and egg were mutual frigidity (right out of the fridge). If you lot convey the syrup in addition to egg to room temperature earlier making these, it would in all likelihood exclusively receive got xxx minutes to bake.

NOTE: I've never used artificial pancake syrup inward these petty cheesecakes, in addition to thence I can't say you lot if that volition run or not, although I'm guessing it would (it merely wouldn't sense of savour equally good).

NOTE: This recipe made ten petty cheesecakes.
