Mini Chocolate Cheesecake Bites

  • Author: David

Description

These Mini Chocolate Cheesecake Bites are indulgent, bite-sized treats featuring creamy cheesecake in a chocolate cookie crust, topped with smooth chocolate ganache. Perfect for parties and easy to make!

Ingredients

  • Chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • Full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • Granulated sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Heavy cream
  • Butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, crush the chocolate cookies until fine crumbs form. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.
  3. Press about 1 tablespoon of the cookie mixture into each muffin tin cup or cheesecake mold.
  4. Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
  6. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just combined.
  7. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crusts, filling them about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for an additional 15-18 minutes or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  10. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until steaming. Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  11. Once the cheesecakes are chilled, pour the ganache over each bite and spread gently with a spatula.
  12. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries if desired.

Notes

These bites can be stored in the fridge for up to five days or frozen for up to three months. They taste even better the next day as the flavors meld.
