Instructions
Crust
Preheat the oven to 350º F.
Line a regular sized muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until it resembles coarse sand.
Gently mix in the sprinkles.
Put 1 heaping tbsp of graham cracker crumbs in each muffin cup.
Use a 1/3 cup (or similar) to press the crumbs down firmly into the pan.
Bake the crust for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool while prepping the cheesecake.
Cheesecake
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth, 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Add the rainbow sprinkles, mix with a spatula.
Place a little more than 2 tbsp of cheesecake batter in each muffin cup.
Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake is only slightly jiggly.
Allow the cheesecakes to cool to room temperature then place them in the fridge for at least 2 hours to chill before serving. If refrigerating overnight, loosely cover the cheesecakes in plastic wrap.
For decoration: add a dollop of whipped cream to each cheesecake and top with sprinkles.
