Description
Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes combine creamy cheesecake with the sweet crunch of mini chocolate chips, creating the perfect bite-sized treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture into each cup of a muffin tin (preferably lined with paper liners). Press the crumbs down firmly with the back of a spoon.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the sour cream and mix until combined. Stir in the flour until smooth, then fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Spoon the cheesecake batter into each muffin cup over the crust. Fill about 2/3 of the way up.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow the cheesecakes to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, remove the cheesecakes from the muffin tin and serve. Optionally, top with extra mini chocolate chips before serving.
Notes
- These mini cheesecakes can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To freeze, place the cheesecakes in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer-safe container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- If you don’t have mini chocolate chips, you can use regular chocolate chips, chopped into smaller pieces.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs and check that your chocolate chips are gluten-free.
