MINI BUTTERFINGER CHEESECAKES RECIPE BY TASTY



Mini Butterfinger Cheesecakes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: chocolate sandwich cookies, unsalted butter, cream cheese, sugar, large eggs, vanilla extract, Butterfinger® Bits, whipped topping

Provided by Butterfinger

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 30m

Yield 42 mini cheesecakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 chocolate sandwich cookies
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
2 packages cream cheese, softened
¾ cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup Butterfinger® Bits
whipped topping, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 24-count mini muffin tins with paper liners. (Alternatively, use a standard 12-count muffin tin.)
  • Add the chocolate sandwich cookies to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined.
  • In a medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to beat together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy, 5 minutes.
  • Assemble the cheesecakes: Scoop ½ teaspoon of the cookie crumb mixture into each paper liner and press down in an even layer. Add ½ teaspoon of the crushed Butterfinger® Bits over the cookie crust. Fill the liner to the top with the cream cheese filling.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until the mini cheesecakes are light golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill.
  • Before serving, add the whipped topping to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip. Pipe a dollop of the whipped topping on top of each mini cheesecake and sprinkle the remaining Butterfinger® Bits on top. Serve cold. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter or margarine for a light and fluffy batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter texture.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cupcake.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the recommended temperature and for the recommended amount of time. Overbaking can result in dry and crumbly cupcakes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Butterfinger cupcakes are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. Made with a rich chocolate cake batter, creamy peanut butter frosting, and topped with Butterfinger candy bars, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
