Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or chocolate cookie crumbs for extra chocolate flavor)
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 egg

Topping

  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
  • Mini chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to prepare for baking the cheesecake bites.
  2. Prepare Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs (or chocolate cookie crumbs), sugar, and melted butter. Stir thoroughly to form a crumbly mixture that holds together when pressed.
  3. Form Crust Bases: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottoms of mini muffin tins, ensuring an even layer that will serve as the crust for each bite.
  4. Make Filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, melted chocolate chips, and the egg. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a silky cheesecake batter.
  5. Fill Muffin Tins: Pour or spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crusts in the mini muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tins in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool Completely: Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake bites to cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator to firm up, at least 2 hours.
  8. Decorate and Serve: Drizzle the top of each cheesecake bite with melted chocolate chips. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream and mini chocolate shavings or sprinkles before serving for an extra touch of indulgence.

Notes

  • Use chocolate cookie crumbs instead of graham crackers for an intensified chocolate flavor.
  • Make sure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Do not overbake; cheesecake bites should be slightly jiggly in the center when done.
  • Chilling after baking ensures a firmer texture and richer flavor.
  • These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
