A while back I made Nutella Cheesecake Bites, which went over very well. I wanted to try subbing speculoos for the nutella. They turned out really well. If you prefer nutella over speculoos I recommend trying the Nutella Cheesecake Bites and vice versa.
Ingredients
1 cup of finely crushed graham crackers
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 8oz. packages of cream cheese (softened; you can put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds if they're coming straight from the fridge)
1/2 cup speculoos (can find at Trader Joe's, but they call it "cookie butter")
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup heavy cream
Directions
Line a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, melt the butter and then mix it with the crushed graham crackers. Try to evenly distribute the graham cracker crust into the 12 cupcake liners. Using wax paper press down on the crumbs until they're packed at the bottom of the liners.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, speculoos, sugar, flour, and vanilla, mixing well. Next, mix in the eggs.
Once well mixed, spoon the batter on top of the graham cracker crust. Pop the tray in the oven for about 18 to 22 minutes. Take it out once the top has set, but is still soft. (If it's hard to tell about 20 minutes will probably be a safe bet.)
Once the cheesecakes have completely cooled, combine the chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat these two steps until the chocolate is melted.
Spread the ganache over the cheesecakes and then put the cheesecakes in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours.
Enjoy!
