Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 5 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 8 oz block cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup crushed Valentines M&M’s

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and spoon the graham cracker mixture into each liner. Use a small glass or the back of a spoon to firmly press down, forming a compact crust at the base of each liner.
  2. Whip the cream: Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a smooth and airy texture.
  3. Incorporate cream cheese: Add the room-temperature cream cheese to the whipped cream and continue whipping until the mixture is fully combined and smooth with no lumps remaining.
  4. Add sweetness and mix-ins: Gradually add the powdered sugar and crushed Valentines M&M’s into the cream cheese mixture. Gently whisk until the candy pieces are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  5. Assemble the cheesecakes: Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crusts in the cupcake liners, filling each almost to the top. Garnish with additional crushed M&M’s on top for decoration.
  6. Set the cheesecakes: Place the assembled mini cheesecakes in the freezer and allow them to set for at least 2 hours until firm and ready to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • You can substitute Valentines M&M’s with any colored chocolate candies or mini chocolate chips.
  • For easier serving, freeze until firm and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before eating.
  • These cheesecakes should be stored in the freezer and consumed within 3 days for best texture and flavor.
  • This recipe yields 12 mini cheesecakes, perfect for parties or gifting.
