How To Make Mini Cheesecakes

You’ll need a few basic ingredients to make these no bake cheesecakes.

• graham cracker crumbs – buy pre-made or make your own in the food processor
• sugar – white granulated sugar is best
• butter – salted or unsalted whichever you prefer
• cream cheese – full fat cream cheese works best
• vanilla extract – the real stuff not the imitation
• powdered sugar – powdered cane sugar by C&H is my go-to
• sour cream – full fat variety
• heavy whipping cream – comes in a carton in the dairy section
• chocolate and caramel sauce – these are a must!
• Turtles candies – essential for topping your cheesecakes with

Start out by combining the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Then add the melted butter and mix until well-combined. Now press the mixture into a silicone tart mold. If you don’t have little tart molds you can also use cupcake molds or a mini muffin pan. Now put them in the fridge until you are done making the filling. This helps them firm up.

Next in a mixing bowl (using a stand mixer) mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla about 2-3 minutes until it reaches a smooth and light texture. Add the whipping cream slowly and then add the sour cream and mix an additional 4-5 minutes until mixture is creamy and thick.

Then spread the mixture on top of the prepared crust. Fill it to the top of your tart mold. Now refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to allow them to set and firm up.

Once they have chilled you can carefully pop them out of the molds.

Next, drizzle them with chocolate and caramel sauce. I used the same kind you would use on ice cream, but you can make your own or use whatever variety you want to.

Now top it with a TURTLES® candy, the perfect combination of nuts, caramel and chocolate!

Serve them immediately or return to the fridge. I suggest waiting until you are ready to serve them before topping them with chocolate, caramel and a TURTLES® candy. They will keep better without the topping on them and refrigerating the TURTLES® candy will make it hard.

These will last in the fridge for at least a day or two but I wouldn’t make them any further ahead than that or the crust will begin to get soggy.

If you really want to wow your friends, then grab some of these cute little cupcake stands for serving your mini cheesecakes! They make them look extra fancy.

• Crust: In a medium bowl combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar and give it a quick stir. Then add the melted butter and stir with a fork until all graham cracker crumbs are moistened.

• Spread the filling evenly into your prepared crusts, filling the molds to the top. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Before serving top with chocolate sauce, caramel and a TURTLES® candy.
• Store in the fridge. *Don't add topping until you are ready to serve them.
