No Bake Turtle Mini Cheesecakes 🍰🐢🍫
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 🥣
1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
16 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
1 cup powdered sugar 🌨️
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦
1 cup heavy whipping cream 🥛
1 cup caramel sauce 🍮
1 cup chocolate ganache (or melted chocolate) 🍫
1 cup chopped pecans 🌰
Directions:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until everything is nicely coated. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and press the crust mixture into each one. Then, pop them in the fridge to chill!
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Grab a large mixing bowl and beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Next, add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until combined. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it’s all smooth and delightful.
3. Assemble: Now, it’s time to fill those lined cups with your luscious cheesecake filling! Spoon or pipe it in and smooth out the tops for that perfect finish.
4. Add Toppings: Drizzle that gooey caramel sauce over the tops of your mini cheesecakes, then layer on the chocolate ganache (or melted chocolate) for some extra indulgence. Finally, sprinkle those crunchy chopped pecans on top.
5. Chill: Let your delicious creations chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours until they’re firm and ready to be devoured.
6. Serve: Carefully remove the mini cheesecakes from the muffin tin and paper liners. Time to enjoy your scrumptious No Bake Turtle Mini Cheesecakes!
Enjoy!
