Preparation
  1. Start by gathering your mini dessert cups or muffin tin liners. This will be the base for your cheesecakes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine Graham cracker crumbs with melted butter to help bind the crumbs if desired. Spoon about a tablespoon into each cup, pressing down gently to form a crust.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in powdered sugar and the vanilla extract, mixing well until there are no lumps.
  4. In a clean bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring you preserve the fluffiness.
  6. Spoon the cheesecake filling into your prepared cups over the Graham cracker crust. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  7. Place the filled cups in the fridge and let them chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, add your Easter-themed toppings like chocolate eggs or sprinkles, and present them.
