📖 Recipe
40+ Best Mini Desserts: Mini Chocolate Cheesecakes & More
Ingredients
Crust:
- 200 g Oreos
- 70 g Butter melted
Filling:
- 350 g Cream cheese
- ⅓ cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 150 g Dark chocolate melted and cooled
- ⅓ teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Egg yolk
- ⅓ cup Heavy cream
Chocolate ganache:
- 100 g Dark chocolate
- 100 g Heavy cream
Chocolate whipped cream:
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoon Sugar
- ¼ cup Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a 12 cupcake or muffins pan with paper liners, and preheat an oven to 180c (350f).
- Make the crust: pulse Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor on hand, place the Oreos in a Ziplock bag and smash them with a cup until fine crumbs form.
- Into a small to medium mixing bowl, add the oreo crumbs, and melted butter. Mix with a spoon until the crumbs are coated with butter.
- Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the oreo crumbs and place it in each muffin tin, pressing evenly and firmly into the pan.
- Bake the crust in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for about 5-8 minutes. Keep an eye on the crust and make sure it doesn’t burn. Take the crust out of the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Lower the temperature to 140c (280f).
- In a big mixing bowl, add the room temperature cream cheese and mix with an electric hand mixer until the cream cheese is creamy.
- Add the sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract and mix until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Melt the chocolate and let it cool to room temperature and pour it into the mixture. Mix until well combined. Add the heavy cream and sour cream and mix it until combined.
- Lower the hand mixer speed to low, and add each egg at a time. This step stops the cheesecake batter from overbeating. Overbeating can cause a weird cheesecake texture and stop the cake from cracking.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust, filling each mold until it’s almost full, and release air bubbles by tapping the pan onto a flat surface.
- Bake the cheesecakes in a preheated 140c (280f) oven for about 15 minutes or until the edges of the cheesecakes are set, but the middle is a bit jiggly. Keep the oven door closed for 5 minutes.
- Open the oven door halfway, and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature for 1-2 hours. After the cheesecake is cooled, wrap the cheesecake with a plastic wrap tightly, and place the cheesecake in the fridge to cool completely for at least 5 hours.
Make the chocolate ganache:
- Melt dark chocolate and heavy cream in a small to medium mixing bowl in the microwave for about 50 seconds.
- Let the chocolate and the cream sit for 10 minutes for the chocolate to melt, then mix until the chocolate ganache is smooth and silky.
Make the chocolate whipped cream:
- In a cold big mixing bowl add the heavy whipping cream, sift the cocoa powder, add the sugar and vanilla.
- Whip with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Make sure that you don’t overmix the whipped cream so it won’t turn into butter.
- Top each mini cheesecake with about a teaspoon of the chocolate ganache, and top with a big dollop of chocolate whipped cream.
