Mr. Ha Ha's Cheesecake Cupcakes
A Piece of Cake, Season 2 Episode 25
From The Golden Girls Cookbook by Christopher Styler (pages 50-54)

Stay Golden is bringing The Golden Girls world into our world by living like the girls. Today we are living like Dorothy Zbornak at her birthday part at Mr. Ha Ha's Hot Dog Hacienda. She would also probably punch our heart out at how much we cannot make cheesecake cupcakes, but we tried.

Courtney tries to replicate the recipe in a cooking and do-it-yourself kinda way right in here Brooklyn, and you can too!

If You Threw A Party is not a step by step guide on how exactly to make the cheesecakes, for a complete list of ingredients and the steps taken, see below:

You'll need
9 ounces of graham crackers
1 cup sugar
salt
9 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 pound of cream cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons of cornstarch
1 egg & 1 egg yolk
1/2 cup sour cream
24 small silicone baking cups
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Crust is made by food processing the graham crackers, and then add in the 1/2 cup sugar and the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Finely ground. Your 9 tablespoons of butter should be melted and then once cooled, add that in and mix until it all looks like fine sand. Take your mixture and fill your cups, about 2 tablespoons per cup. Then chill.

For the cheesecake portion, preheat your oven to 350. Using a mixer, beat the 1 pound cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons or corn starch until creamy. Then add the eggs in, mix, then the vanilla, mix. Take your mixture and fill your cups. Then turn oven down to 300 and bake immediately for about 35 minutes. Remove and cool. Chill.

Done! Enjoy.
