  4. Optional: Bake the crusts at 350°F (177°C) for 5 minutes, then cool.
  5. Whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Prepare the cream cheese base by beating cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
  7. Add sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the mixture and blend.
  8. Fold in the whipped cream gently.

  10. Chill mini cheesecakes for at least 3 hours before serving.
