Servings: 18 Cupcakes
Ingredients
Crust:
2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
8 tablespoons butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
16 ounces 2 blocks cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Chocolate Ganache:
3 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped or chips
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
- Stir together the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter.
- Press about 2 tablespoons of the crumbs into 18 paper-lined muffin cups.
- Beat cream cheese on medium speed, scraping down the bowl, as needed, until creamy and smooth.
- Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla and beat until creamy.
- Stir in the sour cream.
- Equally divide cheesecake filling among the 18 muffin cups, spooning about 2 tablespoons of filling into each.
- Bake on the middle rack in the oven for 15-18 minutes until the cheesecakes no longer look wet, but the center still jiggles.
- Remove and set on a cooling rack.
- Allow to cool for about an hour.
- Combine chocolate and heavy whipping cream in a small glass measuring cup.
- Heat in the microwave on high power for 40 seconds.
- Let the cup sit in the microwave for 3 minutes then remove and stir until melted.
- If needed, heat for 10 more second bursts of power, stirring after each until melted.
- Allow this chocolate ganache to cool until slightly thickened.
- Pour into a pastry bag or squeeze bottle fitted with a #3 round tip.
- Pipe two eyes, two nostrils, and a mouth onto each cheesecake to make them look like Jack Skellington.
