Small Cheesecake

Hey everyone! I love it when I find recipes that don't make a mountain of food, especially when it comes to desserts which can be kinda... tempting:@). I copied this Small Cheesecake recipe as soon as I saw it.
Rita says it takes about 10 minutes to put together, even quicker with a store bought graham cracker crust.
Just remember to have your cream cheese at room temp.
I debated about making a fruit topping to go with it but I'm so glad I didn't-this is really good as is! 
Never had the sour cream topping before-LOVE IT! This would be nice for Mother's Day.
I highly recommend trying this beautifully creamy, great little cheesecake:@)

(1) 8 oz brick of cream cheese, room temp
1/2 C sugar
