Ingredients

  • 2 sleeves Graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 oz Caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate melted
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Before you get started, line your muffin pan (or mini cheesecake pan) with cupcake liners to make them easy to remove. Set aside.
  2. Start by crushing the graham crackers in a food processor into fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can place them in a large Ziploc bag and crush them with a large rolling pin. Add to a small bowl and combine graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until it reaches the consistency of wet sand.
  3. Add a heaping spoonful of the mixture into each of the cupcake liners and press into the bottom to create a graham cracker crust. Set aside.
  4. Add the cream cheese and sugar to the mixer bowl of a stand mixer. Cream until smooth. Scrape the sides and mix again until well incorporated.
  5. Add the vanilla and heavy whipping cream to the bowl. Whip on medium speed for 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue mixing for an additional 30 seconds.
  6. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the liners and fill to the top. Place in the fridge to set for 2-4 hours, or until firm.
  7. Once chilled, finish with the toppings.
  8. For the first layer, add a teaspoon worth of caramel sauce over the top of each of the mini cheesecakes.
  9. Next add a dollop of melted chocolate on top of the caramel drizzles.
  10. And finally finish with a sprinkle of pecan pieces over the top of each cheesecake. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Mini turtle cheesecakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
