1/24/2024 0 Comments Mini bites crumb cakes![]() Rather than making mini cheesecake bites in miniature muffin tins, I prefer to make a single square cheesecake in an 8-inch square pan and slice it into minis afterward. Virgin coconut oil – Adding some coconut oil to the melted chocolate helps make dipping easier, and helps the chocolate coating set properly after dipping.Since we're using it for dipping and want it to set, if you're careful in melting it so it doesn't seize, you can even use chocolate chips. Chopped chocolate – I like to use bittersweet chocolate here, but you can use whatever chocolate you like best.Melted butter – We add melted butter to our finely ground cookie crumbs to help hold them together. ![]() Cookie crumbs – The cookie crust that's classic for cheesecake is made with your favorite type of crunchy cookies or sweet crackers, like graham crackers, that are crumbled into fine crumbs in a blender or food processor.Vanilla extract – A touch of vanilla adds some depth of flavor.Salt – Salt helps bring out the other flavors and balances the sweetness.Cornstarch – The starch helps to stabilize the cheesecake, which is especially important here since we're baking it into an 8-inch square and then slicing it into mini cheesecakes.You can reduce the sugar by about 1/4 cup (50 g) without affecting taste or texture that much. Granulated sugar – Sugar is a sweetener and also a tenderizer here.Cream cheese – Make sure your cream cheese comes in blocks, not a tub where more air will have been added to it already, and that it's fully at room temperature, or it will clump and not combine properly.If you want them topped in chocolate, you'll also need chopped chocolate and some coconut oil. What are cheesecake bites made of? Ingredient notesĬheesecake bites are made with only a few ingredients: cream cheese, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla for the filling, and melted butter and cookie crumbs for the base. I promise you these will be the first treat to go at a party! There's just something about taking an otherwise ordinary, classic cheesecake, slicing it into 1-inch squares, and dipping them in chocolate. If you ever want to impress with a lovely edible hostess gift, try something in miniature. The chocolate coating will cover a multitude of ills. Since these cheesecake bites are covered in chocolate, there is absolutely no need to stress about cracks in the cheesecake (see what I did there? stress? cracks?). You can even go with no crust at all. Just bake the cake a wee bit longer to ensure that the cheesecake is stable enough to slice into bites. Most often, I go with a classic graham cracker cookie crust, but the combination of chocolate cookie made into a cookie crust and cheesecake is undeniably delicious. Make a cheesecake in a square pan with the classic, creamy and perfect 8 ounces cream cheese-1/3 cup sugar-1 egg mixture, but add some cornstarch for stability. These cheesecake bites aren't made in miniature muffin tins, since that seems harder-and makes larger bites that are harder to dip in chocolate.
