  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup Moscato wine

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
  3. Press about 1 teaspoon of the mixture into each mini muffin cup.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes, then let cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  2. Add egg, Moscato wine, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. Spoon the cheesecake batter into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ full.

Step 3: Bake & Chill

  1. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the centers are set but slightly jiggly.
  2. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours.

Step 4: Make the Moscato Glaze (Optional)

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine Moscato wine and apricot jam.
  2. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
  3. Let cool slightly before drizzling over cheesecakes.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

  1. Top each cheesecake bite with fresh berries and Moscato glaze.
  2. Add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
  3. Serve chilled and enjoy!
