- Time to assemble the cheesecakes. You may place a piece of parchment paper in each cupcake cup for easier removal if desired. Scoop 2 tbsp of graham mix into each cup. Use a glass cup with a bottom about the size of the ci[ to flatten the graham mix.
- Fill each cup with the cheesecake mixture to the top. Smooth out the tops. Place the pan of cheesecakes in the freezer and freeze for at least 2.5hrs.
- Once the cheesecakes have hardened, take them out of the freezer and let them sit in room temperature for about 2mins. To take them out of the cupcake pan, use a flat metal spatula to loosen the sides and gently tilt them out of the cup.
- Eat the cheesecakes right away, or store them in a freezer-safe container in the freezer.
