Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add in the sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and green food coloring. Continue mixing until the filling is uniformly green and silky.
- Once the crusts have cooled, spoon the creamy filling over each graham cracker crust. Smooth the tops with a spatula for an even finish.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
- Once set, pipe or spoon whipped cream onto the top of each mini cheesecake and top with a red heart candy.
- Carefully remove from the cupcake liners and serve on a festive platter.

Notes
Allow the cheesecakes to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor experience.
