Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup Rolo candies, chopped (plus extra for topping)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of mini muffin tins lined with paper liners.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well. One at a time, beat in the eggs until just mixed.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped Rolo candies.
Baking
  1. Spoon the cheesecake batter into the prepared crusts, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the centers are set.
  3. Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
  4. Refrigerate for at least an hour to let them set completely.
Serving
  1. Once chilled, garnish with a small piece of Rolo on top of each cheesecake.

Notes

These cheesecakes can be made a day in advance. Feel free to substitute Rolo candies with other chocolate or caramel treats. Use standard muffin tins if mini muffin tins are unavailable, adjusting baking time as necessary.
