      12 Servings

Ingredients

For the Crust:
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs, about 5 crackers
  • 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
For the Cheesecake:
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
For the Swirl:
  • 6 teaspoons Guava Paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a mini cheesecake pan with 12 wells, or line cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Press a heaping tablespoon into the bottom of each cup and tamp down firmly.
  3. In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg, cream and vanilla; mix on low speed until combined. Evenly divide the mixture among the cheesecake pan.
  4. In a microwave safe bowl, warm the guava paste until melted, but not hot. Add lemon juice to thin it out and stir to combine.
  5. Place a half teaspoon of guava paste on each cheesecake and swirl with a toothpick. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or just until set. Let cool on a wire rack before removing from pan, then chill cheesecakes thoroughly before serving.

Notes

  • You can also use guava preserves or preserves of choice in place of guava paste.
