Salted Caramel Chocolate cheesecake snack are perfect for parties. Make them in little disposable containers or tiny teacups and hand them out at the end of the party.
Its like a tiny cheesecake with caramel on the bottom a chocolate cheesecake filling and some crunchy crumbs on top. I made savoury and sweet ones for a party.
The savoury were made with whipped feta a real favourite of mine, then pumpkin roasted in lemon oil. Semi dried Italian cherry tomatoes in olive oil, crisp prosciutto and a sprinkling of Dukkah shortbread crumble.
There is an endless amount of ideas you could pull together for a party using these little dishes.
So back to the mini cheesecakes. This recipe still makes a party sized amount of around 24.
Make Caramel sauce here.
Make 1/2 the salted caramel recipe and pour a little into each glass. Let this cool and set.
Ingredients |
Unit:
|
- 125 ml cream thickened (1/4 cup) (whipping cream to 35%)
- 250 gm cream cheese 8oz
- 200 gm chocolate dark
- 40 gm caster sugar 2 large Tblsp
- 20 gm cocoa Dutched dark powder, 2 Tablespoons
- 40 ml water hot (2 Tablespoons)
- 150 gm plain biscuits like Granita or approximately 1/2 packet
- 40 gm brown sugar 1/4 cup
- 40 gm sugar caster
- 30 gm plain flour 3 Tablespoons
- 25 gm almond meal 1/4 cup
- 65 gm butter softened
Instructions
- Follow the recipe for the caramel. Pour into each cup or container and let it set. Melt the chocolate and cool slightly
- Mix the cocoa with the warm water.
- Put the cream cheese, cream, sugar, chocolate and cocoa into a food processor and blitz till smooth.
- Pour or squeeze into the cups with a disposable piping bag, filling the containers or glasses leaving a little room at the top for crumbs.
- Next make a Crumble, the one you are making is a cross between crumbs and crumble. If it seems too dry add a little more butter.
- Heat the oven to 180C or 350F
- Put the biscuits into the food processor and break up. Add the flour, almond meal, sugar and butter to the processor and blitz. Pour into a bowl and press together a little to get some random lumps. These are nice for texture.
- Pour onto a lined tray. Then bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Cool down
- Sprinkle onto the top of each cheesecake. Decorate with extra chocolate or chocolate garnishes or praline like I did
Recipe Notes
I added a chocolate biscuit straw but you could add Maltezers or chopped Tim Tams or any other chocolate you like
Decorate with extra chocolate or chocolate garnishes or praline like I did
Hi Tania, Those canapes and mini desserts look lovely. Clearly you are very talented. I also love the look of that baking dish, no wonder it’s your favourite.

Yes these gloves are the bomb.
Adore these mini desserts..so very pretty. Bet they taste even better.

Yes a mini dessert certainly comes with a smaller guilt price tag, which makes them taste better
I love small helpings of food and am starting to do more and more on my blog in an effort to keep the weight under control since I have to eat what I cook.

Yes this is the only drawback Suzanne , that cooking results in eating and that can be a bit tricky
Woop! How good does that look! I love the sounds of these little upside down cheesecakes. Where they gobbled up straight away, leaving nothing but a few crumbs and light chocolate smear across a smiling mouth? (well that’s how I would have done it anyway 🙂
