Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos)
  • 1 tbsp melted butter Enough to hold the crust together
For the filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure it's at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the topping
  • 1/2 cup melted chocolate For drizzling
Optional toppings
  • sprinkles For decoration
  • crushed cookies Optional for added texture
  • nuts Optional for crunch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with enough melted butter until it holds together. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of mini cupcake liners placed in a muffin tin. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract.
Assembly
  1. Spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling onto the crusts in the cupcake liners, filling each liner nearly to the top.
Chilling
  1. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the bites to firm up.
Finishing Touches
  1. After chilling, melt the chocolate and drizzle it over each cheesecake bite. Get creative with your drizzling!
  2. Pop them out of the liners and enjoy your Chocolate Cheesecake Bites!

Notes

For best results, use high-quality chocolate for both the crust and the drizzle. Consider adding a tablespoon of heavy cream for a creamier filling. Allow the bites to chill adequately for the perfect texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-5 days or freeze for longer storage.
