    Instructions:

    1. **Prepare the Crust:**
    – Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
    – In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and crushed nuts (if using) until well combined.
    – Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased muffin tin or individual mini cheesecake pans to form the crust.
    – Bake for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

    2. **Make the Cheesecake Filling:**
    – In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
    – Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    – Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and pineapple juice until fully combined.
    – Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust in the muffin tin or pans, filling each one nearly to the top.

    3. **Bake the Cheesecakes:**
    – Bake the mini cheesecakes for 18-22 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are slightly puffed.
    – Remove from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    4. **Decorate and Serve:**
    – Once the cheesecakes are chilled, carefully remove them from the muffin tin or pans.
    – Top each cheesecake with a swirl of whipped cream.
    – Garnish with a slice of pineapple and a fresh raspberry.
    – Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or nuts for added texture.

    These mini tropical cheesecakes are not only visually stunning but also offer a delightful combination of creamy cheesecake with the refreshing taste of pineapple and the tartness of raspberries. Perfect for any special occasion!

    Enjoy!
