Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bites

December 10, 2013 By Shannah Coe 22 Comments

Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts.  If we are out to eat and cheesecake is on the menu, I’m probably going to order.  I like to have my desserts in smaller sizes though and tend to go for things that are individually sized versus needing to be sliced.  That was how my pumpkin cheesecake bites were born and also the though behind these peppermint chocolate chip cheesecake bites.
Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bites #recipes #dessert #ChristmasrecipesNow, obviously, these are more than a single bite but they are the perfect size for each person to have one.  Plus, at parties, they are super easy to serve because they require no slicing and, honestly, no utensils because you can just pick them up.

What You’ll Need:
30 thin chocolate cookies
3 Tbsp sugar
5 Tbsp butter, melted
2 8oz bars cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp flour
2 eggs
2 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 oz sour cream
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Whipped cream
Peppermint candy pieces and/or sprinkles

Let’s Make It:
1)  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 muffins cups with paper liners.

2)  In a food processor, add cookies and pulse to form fine crumbs.  Add sugar and pulse 1-2 times to combine.  Pour in melted butter and run until the butter has coated the crumbs.  Press 2 Tbsp of crumbs into the bottom of each of the 12 muffin cups.  Bake for 7-10 minutes in the oven.

3)  In the food processor, process the cream cheese until smooth.  Add the remaining ingredients through the sour cream and run until combined.  Stir in mini chocolate chips.

4)  Fill muffin cups 3/4 of the way full with the mixture.  Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until set.  Let stand in pan for 5 minutes and then remove to wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

    You literally take my breath away and make me drool with your recipes, and this recipe is no different. I can just imagine the lusciousness of the cheesecake with a cleansing bite of the mint, and the dreaminess of the chocolate bottom. And the best part? I now know what to bring to an upcoming holiday party this weekend! Thank you 🙂
