Cheesecake Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place foiled muffin cups into mini-muffin tin (12 total).
• Add one vanilla wafer to each muffin cup.
• In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until smooth.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix until creamy.
• Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until the center is set and bounces back after lightly tapping it.
• Cool completely on wire rack.
• Refrigerate at least 3 hours, overnight is best.
• Top with fresh sliced berries, or berries with powdered sugar, whip cream or berry glaze before serving. Even try your favorite candy bar crushed.

Steps:

• For the cheesecake mixture: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Beat the cream cheese until smooth in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the sugar, vanilla and graham cracker crumbs and beat until well combined. Scoop 1-tablespoon balls of the cheesecake mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes.
• For the strawberry sauce: Meanwhile, combine the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until the sugar is dissolved and the berries begin to break down and to give off their juices, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Set aside.
• For the batter: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until the oil registers 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the milk and whisk until smooth.
• When the oil is ready, remove the cheesecake balls from the freezer. Working in batches, add the cheesecake balls to the batter a few at a time, turning to coat. Remove from the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and then carefully add to the oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch (allow the oil to return to temperature between batches). Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on the paper towels.
• Serve warm, with strawberry sauce.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Place 1 cookie, flat side down, in each of 24 paper-lined mini muffin pan cups. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with mixer until blended. Add sour cream and flour; mix well. Add egg; beat on low speed just until blended. Spoon over cookies.

• With a sharp paring knife, cut a cone shape out of the top of each strawberry to leave a small hollow.
• Pipe about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into each strawberry, making sure that the filling overflows a bit out of the top of the strawberry.
• Place the graham cracker crumbs into a shallow bowl. Dip the filled side of the strawberry into the graham cracker crumbs, coating the exposed filling with crumbs.
• Melt the chocolate and canola oil in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until warm and smooth, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).
• Dip the unfilled ends of the strawberries into the melted chocolate and place on the prepared baking sheet; refrigerate until set.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate with cream; stir until blended. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a large bowl; cover and refrigerate until mixture reaches spreading consistency, stirring occasionally. , In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and remaining sugar. Using a melon baller, scoop out 1-in. balls of cheesecake; place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Top each with a heaping teaspoonful of chocolate mixture. Sprinkle crumb mixture over half of the balls and toffee bits over the remaining balls. Cover and freeze for 2 hours or until firm.

Steps:

• Chill a clean ice cube tray in the freezer. For the cheesecake filling: In a food processor, mix together the cream cheese, yogurt, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag and set aside. Clean out the food processor bowl for the chocolate covering.
• For the chocolate covering: In a food processor, mix together the cocoa powder, coconut oil and confectioners' sugar until smooth.
• Using a pastry brush, grease the chilled ice cube tray with coconut oil. Spoon the chocolate shell mixture into each compartment, tilting the tray around to coat the sides. Cut a small corner off the bottom of the bag of filling and squeeze into each chocolate mold. Spoon more chocolate over the filling to cover. Freeze for 4 to 5 hours, or overnight.
• Before removing the cheesecakes, set the frozen tray on the counter for 2 to 3 minutes to start defrosting. Remove as you would ice cubes, by twisting the tray, or running the underside of the tray under warm water for a few seconds. Serve immediately.

• Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the graham cracker crust.

• Transfer the frozen cheesecake onto a cutting board, peeling away the parchment paper. Slice ¹⁄₆₄ inch (1 cm) wide strips horizontally, then vertically, creating little cheesecake cubes.
