Description
Delightful bite-sized cheesecakes featuring the flavors of chocolate, caramel, and creamy goodness, inspired by the classic Twix candy bar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1⁄2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (for ganache)
- Caramel sauce (for drizzling)
- Mini Twix candy bars (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Process the graham crackers in a food processor until you have 1 1⁄2 cups of crumbs.
- Add the melted butter to the crumbs and pulse until combined.
- Divide the mixture among cupcake molds and press down gently to form the crust.
- In a mixer, cream the softened cream cheese for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Add the granulated sugar and flour, mixing until combined.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and caramel sauce; mix until smooth.
- With the mixer on low, add the heavy cream; then increase to high speed for 1 minute.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition.
- Divide the batter among the prepared molds and bake for 13-15 minutes, until the center jiggles slightly.
- Allow them to cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
- Once cooled, drizzle the cheesecakes with caramel sauce and refrigerate again.
- For the ganache, heat the chocolate and 1/4 cup heavy cream in a small pot. Whisk until smooth.
- Top each cheesecake with the ganache, add a swirl of whipped cream, and finish with a Mini Twix candy bar.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Keep ganache and toppings separate until ready to serve.
