  • Author: easysweetmeal
  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini cheesecakes 1x

Description

Decadent layers of chocolate, gooey caramel, and velvety cream cheese atop a crispy cookie crust—all without baking! Perfect for last-minute cravings, parties, or when you need a fuss-free dessert that wows.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips, melted

  • ½ cup caramel sauce

  • ½ cup mini chocolate squares (like Rolos), chopped

  • Extra caramel sauce, for drizzling

  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter.

  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  3. Press about 1½ tablespoons of the mixture into each liner to form a solid crust.

  4. Place the tin in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy.

  2. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

  3. Divide the cheesecake mixture into two equal portions.

    • Mix the melted chocolate into one half.

    • Stir the caramel sauce into the other half.

Step 3: Layer and Swirl

  1. Spoon the chocolate cheesecake mixture over each chilled crust.

  2. Follow with a spoonful of the caramel cheesecake layer.

  3. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the two layers for a marbled design.

Step 4: Chill and Garnish

  1. Refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

  2. Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce, sprinkle with chopped chocolate candies, and top with chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are room temperature before mixing for the smoothest texture.

  • The swirling step not only looks beautiful but helps balance both flavors in every bite.
