Why recepie famous for?

Creamy slice of cheesecake? This mini version is super-easy to make (no water bath!), but just as delicious as its full-size counterpart. Feel free to swap out the fruit for whatever's in season, or leave out fruit entirely and top with whipped cream and chocolate curls instead!

14 graham crackers, crushed
4 tbsp. melted butter
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs

1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
Fresh berries, for garnish
2 tbsp. orange marmalade or apricot jam

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add eggs, sour cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined. Pour filling over graham crusts.
