Print Recipe

Delicious no-bake mini cheesecakes topped with chocolate ganache, caramel sauce, and nuts—perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham crackers (ground)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 5 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Caramel Sauce
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the Mixture into Muffin Tins: Line a muffin tin with paper liners and press about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each liner.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it’s smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Spoon the Filling into Crusts: Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the graham cracker crusts, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  6. Chill the Cheesecakes: Place the muffin tin in the fridge and allow the cheesecakes to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: Heat the 1/4 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan until it’s hot but not boiling. Add the chopped chocolate and stir until melted.

Notes

These cheesecakes can be made up to two days in advance. For a vegan version, use cashew cream instead of cream cheese.
