MINI CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKES



Mini Chocolate Cheesecakes image

Individually-sized chocolaty cheesecakes on a gingersnap cookie base! You can, of course, use any cookie base that you'd like really. Oreo® is the obvious choice to play up the chocolate flavor, graham crackers are always great, and Nilla® wafers are a fun option, too!

Provided by Rebekah Rose Hills

Categories     Chocolate Cheesecake

Time 2h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup gingersnap cookie crumbs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until evenly combined and mixture resembles coarse sand. Divide mixture evenly and sprinkle into the bottom of the prepared muffin cups; use the bottom of a cup to press crumbs firmly into a crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove crusts to a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • While the crusts are cooling, combine cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Whip on medium to high speed, scraping down the sides and bottom as needed, until smooth and evenly combined. Blend in sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, blending after each addition until mixture is smooth and even and scraping the sides as necessary. Divide filling evenly between the crusts.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven off, and leave cheesecakes in the oven without opening the door for 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chocolate wafers for the best flavor and texture. - If you find that the ganache is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out. - Be sure to chill the ganache before spreading it on the wafers, as this will help it to set and firm up. - If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to drizzle the chocolate ganache over the wafers. - For a more decadent treat, you can add a layer of your favorite filling between the chocolate wafers, such as whipped cream, fruit preserves, or even peanut butter. - Garnish your mini chocolate wafer cakes with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for a festive touch.

Conclusion:

These mini chocolate wafer cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their crispy chocolate wafers, creamy ganache filling, and festive decorations, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these mini chocolate wafer cakes a try - you won't be disappointed!
