Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Line a cupcake pan with paper wrappers. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of each wrapper, creating an even layer. Freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, white sugar, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the Cheesecakes: Scoop the cream cheese filling on top of each crust and spread evenly. Add generous sprinkles of red, white, and blue on top.
- Set Cheesecakes: Place the filled cupcakes back into the freezer for at least 1 hour to help the filling set properly.
- Serve: Remove from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving. Peel away the wrappers and enjoy!

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for smooth filling. Don’t overmix the cream to avoid graininess. Freeze crusts longer if they don’t hold together well. Garnish with sprinkles just before serving.
