Dan loves cheesecake so making it for him is always fun.
I wanted to do something a little different so chocolate covered cheesecake
bites was a perfect idea and very easy to make. What’s great is you don’t have
to do a hot water bath like a normal baked cheesecake requires. A lot of
cheesecakes bake for an hour or longer, this only take about 30 minutes of bake
time. Follow the super simple recipe below and trust me you will love it!
Ingredients:
Crust
1 ½ cup Graham crackers
5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Filling
2 8 ounce packages cream cheese (room temp)
¾ cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon cornstarch
2 eggs (crack and bring to room temp)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
Chocolate coating
8 ounces melting chocolate (wafers or like candiquick)
*if you use wafers use a little bit of coconut oil mixed
in
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325F
Line 8 in pan with parchment paper
Crust:
In food processor put graham crackers and pulse until
fine. Place in a medium bowl and add melted butter. Mix until all the crumbs are
all moistened. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan and set
aside.
Filling:
*In prefer to use a Kitchen aid (use the paddle attachment)
mixer but you can use a handheld if you want.
Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add
the sugar, salt, cornstarch, eggs and vanilla, and mix until it is smith and
pourable.
Bake for about 30 mins until the center doesn’t jiggle more
than just a little bit.
Set on the counter to cool for around 20-30 mins. Then Cover
with Plastic wrap and place in the freezer until firm (2-3 hours).
Slice into pieces.
Chocolate coating
If you get the candiquick it’s really easy you just have to
put in the microwave and you are good. With the wafers, add a little coconut
oil and place in the microwave. Ever 30 seconds mix to make nice and even and
no hot spots.
Dip each into the chocolate and place on the parchment
paper. The chocolate will dry really fast.
Store in an air tight container in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
