Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Filling
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 30–36 mini Rolos
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of mini cheesecake pans or muffin tins lined with paper liners to form the crust base.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, free of lumps. This creamy filling is the base of your cheesecake layer.
- Assemble: Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crusts in each mini cheesecake cup, smoothing the tops gently with a spatula.
- Add Mini Rolos: Top each mini cheesecake with a single mini Rolo candy, pressing slightly to adhere it to the filling. The Rolos will soften while chilling and add a rich caramel flavor.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow them to set and the flavors to meld nicely.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecakes from the pans or liners and serve chilled for a delightful, bite-sized dessert experience.
Notes
- Allow cream cheese to soften completely at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother filling.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling.
- If mini Rolos are unavailable, caramel candies or chocolate-covered caramels can be used as substitutes.
- Ensure the cheesecakes chill long enough to fully set and avoid serving too soon.
- These cheesecakes are best served within 3 days if refrigerated.
