Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafer cookies, melted butter, and sugar until crumbly. Spoon the mixture into lined mini muffin tins to create a crust.
  3. Bake the crusts for 5–7 minutes until set and slightly golden, then cool completely.
  4. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, sour cream, and egg, mixing until well incorporated.
  5. Fill each cooled crust with the cheesecake filling and gently tap to remove air bubbles.
  6. Bake the cheesecakes for 15–18 minutes until the centers are set but slightly jiggly. Let them cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  7. Prepare the gelatin by following package instructions and pour into half-sphere molds to create domes.
  8. Mold fondant into small snowmen and set aside.
  9. Once chilled, place a fondant snowman on each cheesecake bite, sprinkle with edible glitter, then place the gelatin dome over each cheesecake bite.
