Swirled Cheesecake Nibbles Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Place 36 2 inch foil baking cups on baking sheets with sides.
• (I put the cups into muffin tins) Place one vanilla wafer, flat side down, on bottom of each cup.
• Place 5 to 6 swirled morsels on top of each wafer.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar and flour in large mixer bowl until creamy.
• Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
• Spoon heaping tablespoon of cream cheese mixture into each cup.
• Bake for 15-17 minutes or until just set and not browned.
• Remove from oven to wire rack.
• While still warm, top with remaining swirled morsels.
• Morsels will soften, but will retain shape.
• Cool completely.
• Cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. To make the crust, combine graham crackers, melted butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Mix well with a fork to combine. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan that has been coated with non-stick spray. Set aside.
• To make the filling, melt chocolate in a double boiler or medium bowl over simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, egg, and vanilla. Mix on low speed until smooth and creamy. Fold in sugar and flour. Pour filling into prepared pan.
• Drizzle melted chocolate over surface of cheesecake. Using a toothpick swirl the chocolate into the filling, just until decorative swirls form (don't over-swirl, or you'll lose the effect).
• Bake 1 hour, or until center is set. Turn off oven, prop open the oven door (not all the way, just slightly), and allow the cake to cool 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 36 2-inch foil bake cups on baking sheet(s) with sides. Place one vanilla wafer, flat-side down, on bottom of each cup. Place 5 to 6 morsels on top of each wafer.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar and flour in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat well. Spoon heaping tablespoon of cream cheese mixture into each bake cup.
• Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until just set and not browned. Remove from oven to wire rack. While still warm, top cheesecakes with remaining morsels. Morsels will soften but will retain shape. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Crust:
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Place the walnuts in a cake or pie pan and toast for 12 minutes, stirring the pan after 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• Spray the inside of the springform pan with nonstick baking spray. Wrap heavy-duty aluminum foil tightly around the bottom of the pan to prevent water from seeping in as it bakes in a water bath.
• Pulse the walnuts and brown sugar in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade until the walnuts are finely ground, about 1 minute. Pour the butter through the feed tube and pulse until the mixture begins to hold together in moist clumps. Transfer the mixture to the springform pan and press the crust evenly onto the bottom.
• Cheesecake:
• Beat the cream cheese in the bowl of an electric stand mixer using the flat beater attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand-held mixer, until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugars and beat together well. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla then add the sour cream and blend completely.
• Pour 1/ 2 of batter into the prepared pan. Then pour 1/ 2 of the caramel sauce over the batter. Use the tip of a knife or a toothpick to swirl together. Repeat once more with the remaining batter and sauce.
• Place the springform pan into a larger cake pan or a roasting pan. Pour boiling water into the bottom pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Bake the cake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the cake puffs and the top is light golden. Remove the pans from the oven and transfer the springform pan to a cooling rack to cool completely. Cover the top of the cheesecake with waxed paper and tightly wrap with aluminum foil then chill for at least 8 hours. Release the clip on the side of the springform pan and gently pull the sides away from the bottom.
• Serve the cheesecake at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix cookie crumbs and margarine; press onto bottom of foil-lined 13x9-inch pan. Bake 10 min.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing after each just until blended.
• Reserve 1 cup batter. Stir chocolate into remaining batter; pour over crust. Top with spoonfuls of reserved batter.
• Swirl batters with knife. Bake 40 min. or until centre is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 4 hours.
