Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of sugar until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Spoon the mixture into muffin liners, pressing down to form a sturdy crust about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Bake crusts for 5 minutes, then let cool slightly.
  5. Beat cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy, breaking up any lumps.
  6. Gradually add ¼ cup of sugar and mix until silky.
  7. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
  8. Add the egg, beating gently until just combined, careful not to overmix.
  9. Fill muffin liners nearly to the top with cheesecake filling.
  10. Bake for 16–18 minutes until centers are just set, then let cool completely in the pan.
  11. Transfer to refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
  12. Top with fresh raspberries and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
