Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 45 minutes

Yield 8 mini cheesecakes

Individual cheesecakes with a chocolate caramel surprise in the middle!

Ingredients

Crust:

1/2 cup graham Nabisco Famous Wafer crumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecakes:

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, at room temperature
8 Rolo Minis. unwrapped

Glaze:

2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2+ tablespoons heavy cream (start with 2, then add more to thin if needed)

Instructions

Grease a Nonstick 12 Mini Cheesecake Pan. Set aside. Preheat oven to 325º.
Mix together cookie crumbs and melted butter. Place a tablespoo+ in about 8 of the wells of the cheesecake pan in, tamp down.
With a mixer, whip cream cheese with sugar till light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla and egg, just till incorporated. Place one mini-Rolo in each well then divide batter over the crusts.
Bake 15 minutes or till filling appears set. Remove to a rack to cool.
When cheesecakes are cooled to room temperature, make the ganache. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate and cream starting with 30 seconds, stopping and stirring. Repeat using 15-second increments, till the mixture is smooth. Add more heavy cream to get to a good pouring consistency.
Cool slightly, then scrape into Ziploc bag, snip the corner, and pipe into the center of each mini cheesecake.
Store in the refrigerator, but bring to room temperature to serve.

Notes

This recipe will make 6-8 cheesecakes in the NorPro pan depending on how full you fill the wells. It will make about 24 even smaller cheesecakes if you use a mini muffin pan.
