1. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner, pressing down firmly.
2. Bake the crusts for 5 minutes, then remove and let cool.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Add granulated sugar and mix until well combined.
3. Mix in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour.
4. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

3. Assemble and Bake:

1. Spoon the cheesecake batter over the cooled crusts, filling each liner nearly to the top.
2. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the centers are set but slightly jiggly.
3. Allow the bites to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

4. Add Toppings and Serve:

1. Once chilled, top each cheesecake bite with your favorite toppings.
2. Serve cold and enjoy!
