Cheesecake cupcakes topped with crushed candy canes and melted chocolate.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
  • 0.5 cup butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 ounce) can chocolate-flavored sweetened condensed milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candies
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and prepare 18 muffin cups with foil baking cups.
  • Mix together chocolate wafer crumbs and butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups to create crusts.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes until set. Allow to cool completely for about 30 minutes while keeping the oven on.
  • In a bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the cream cheese until fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract, and mix until smooth. Spread the filling evenly over the cooled crusts.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the filling is firm. Allow it to cool completely for about an hour before gently removing the foil baking cups.
  • Gently melt chocolate chips in the microwave in short 15-second bursts, stirring in between, for a total of 1 to 3 minutes. Drizzle the melted chocolate over cheesecake bites and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
