Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Mini chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs (or chocolate cookie crumbs), sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom of mini muffin tins to form the base for the cheesecake bites.
4. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, melted chocolate chips, and egg. Mix until the filling is well combined and silky in texture.
5. Carefully spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each muffin tin, filling them about three-quarters full.
6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
7. Remove the mini cheesecake bites from the oven and let them cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle the tops with the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips. Optionally, you can garnish them with whipped cream and mini chocolate shavings or sprinkles for an extra special touch.
