Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Electric Mixer
  • Piping bag

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • Orange and yellow food coloring

Frosting & Decor

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Orange food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 2 tbsp sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
  • Press the crust mixture evenly into each liner. Place in the fridge to firm up.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla, and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  • Split the filling into three bowls. Color one yellow, one orange, and leave one plain.
  • Spoon a layer of yellow filling into each liner, then orange, then plain white on top. Lightly smooth each layer.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
  • For the frosting, beat 1/2 cup butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then 2-3 tbsp heavy cream and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix in orange food coloring.
  • Pipe a swirl of orange frosting onto each mini cheesecake. Top with white sprinkles and fondant ghosts made with edible markers.
