Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 pack graham crackers (any brand will do, we just need it for crust)
• �� cup of unsalted butter
• 2 cups cream cheese (that velvety smooth beauty is our main player)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1-2 espresso shots (depending on how strong you want the coffee flavor)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for that little extra oomph)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (we need this little dark magic)

For this recipe, don’t forget that you’ll need a trusty blender to crush the crackers, a mixer, muffin tins, espresso machine, and oven.

How To Make Mini Tiramisu Cheesecakes

1. First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While it warms up, start smashing up your graham crackers in a blender. We want a nice sandy crust for our cheesecakes.
2. Mix the melted butter with graham crackers crumbs. Then press the mixture into bottom of muffin tins. That’s the start of our crusts.
3. Onto the filling! In a bowl, blend together cream cheese, sugar, espresso shots, eggs, and vanilla extract. Make sure it’s a smooth mixture with no lumps.
4. Pour this mixture onto the crusts in the muffin tins. Then top them off with a small sprinkle of our unsweetened cocoa powder.
5. Pop the muffin tins into the oven and cook for a full hour.
6. Once done, let them cool completely before indulging.
