Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust

- Divide the mixture evenly among a muffin tin lined with paper liners (or silicone molds). Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of each liner to form the crust.
- Chill the crusts in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to set.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped topping (if using) and Fireball whiskey until fully combined. Taste and adjust the amount of Fireball to your preference.
