This is a super easy dessert to make and there is no baking required. You can make these for parties and other special occasions. They are light and pretty. Taste the cheesecake batter and change the sweetness if you want. The crust in this has the more butter than a typical graham cracker crust because the discs need to hold up when they are being served
If you do not have a silicone mold or a metal mini cupcake tin to make the graham cracker bases, you could roll the graham cracker crust out between 2 pieces of paper so that it is a sheet of graham cracker crust and cut out circles.
