Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

  3. Bake the crusts for 5 minutes until set and lightly golden.
  4. Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and heavy cream.

  8. Allow the tops to cool and harden before serving. Optionally garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream.
