Cheesecake Minis
Whenever I eat a slice of cheesecake I feel like there's never enough enough graham cracker crust. These cheesecake minis are perfect because they're proportioned to have more graham cracker crust per bite and they are easy to make and serve! I made about 40 of these for my sister's graduation party and they are easy for people to grab and eat at a party.
Ingredients:
Tip: I use silicon (reusable) cupcake molds. This makes it easier to remove cheesecakes after they are cooled.
Crust:
- 1 sleeve graham crackers (about 9-10 crackers)
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 Tbs butter melted
Filling:
- Two 8 oz packages cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbs vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Directions:
1. Prepare crust. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In food processor (or blender) pulse graham crackers, sugar, and salt until finely ground. Add butter, pulse until mixture resembles wet sand. Press about 1 Tbs heaping mixture into the bottom of each cupcake mold. Bake 5 mins. Cool completely. Reduce oven to 325 degrees.
3. Filling: In a large bowl w/mixture on medium speed mix the cream cheese and sugar for 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and salt. Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing well after each. Mix in the heavy cream.
4. Scoop about 1/4 filling into each cupcake mold (on top of the crust).
5. Bake 24-27 minutes until slightly jiggly (they will firm up as they cool).
6. Let cool for about 10 minutes in the molds before removing them to a plate. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours before serving.
7. I also like to place some berries on top as garnish.

DIY Picture Letter
DIY Picture Letter
 |
This is a great DIY project idea for room decor, party decorations, or gifts.
Supplies:
The supplies you'll need are a wooden letter (I got mine from Michael's), Mod Podge (glossy finish), foam brush, scissors, X-Acto knife, and pictures printed out on regular printer paper.
  |
Step 1: Print and cut out photos that you want to use.
Step 2: Use the Mod Podge to fully coat the front of the wooden letter you chose and place desired photos on. (The pictures will be hanging off the sides of the wooden letter at this stage--that's ok). Let it dry for about 20 minutes.
Step 3: Turn the letter over so that you can see the excess paper from the photos. Use an X-Acto knife to trim the edges so that they are flush with the wooden sides.
Step 4: Cover the pictures (on the front of the wooden letter) with a thin layer of Mod Podge, as well as the sides of the wooden letter (Tip: it looks better if you apply the Mod Podge in strokes towards the same direction).
The Mod Podge will seal the photos to the wooden letter and create a smooth, seamless finish.
Let it dry for about 20 minutes.
Step 5: Apply a second coat of Mod Podge. Let it dry for 20 minutes and then your Picture Letter is done!
