Instructions
Spray a regular sized muffin tin with cooking spray, and preheat the oven to 325F.
Melt the butter.
Combine the melted butter and the graham cracker crumbs until it resembles wet sand.
Place a tablespoon of the mixture into each muffin opening,
Press down with your fingers to flatten the mixture, covering the bottom of each muffin opening to form a crust.
Bake for 10 minutes to firm up. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Meanwhile, combine the cheesecake ingredients using a hand mixer.
Spray the openings of the muffin tin again (including the sides) and pour a heaping tablespoon of filling into each muffin tin until evenly distributed.
Bake at 325 for 25 minutes or until set up.
Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.
Use a knife to free each cheesecake from the muffin pan openings.
