Method

6. Mix in the 1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream until well combined.
7. In another bowl, whip 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Gradually add 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar and 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
9. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
10. Refrigerate the filled muffin tin for at least 2 hours or until the cheesecake bites are firm.
