Ingredient List
-
Chocolate Cookie Crust
-
1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumb
-
½ cup margarine, melted

Mocha Cheesecake Filling

2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated white sugar

-
Chocolate Mocha Topping

Notes:
The crust ingredients are the base for the cheesecake bottom. I like to use crushed Oreo cookies or any other type of chocolate cookie crumbs for this recipe. The recipe makes about six mini cheesecakes or one whole cake that serves eight to ten people. You can adjust the amount of ingredients depending on whether you want to make more or less mini cheesecakes. The cheesecake’s taste can go up a notch by adding some espresso powder, but it is not necessary.

– Coffee cheesecake cupcakes: Want to switch things up? Instead of making cake pops, try making mini mocha cheesecakes in cupcake liners. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with chocolate chips for a delicious coffee-house inspired dessert!

After baking, let the cheesecakes cool down to room temperature, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days.
When you’re ready to serve, simply remove the cheesecakes from the refrigerator about 15-20 minutes before serving so they can come back to their soft texture. If you prefer them heated, place them in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave one or two cheesecakes at a time on high for 10-15 seconds, depending on your preference.
Make sure not to freeze these babycakes cheesecakes, as freezing will compromise their creamy texture and cause them to lose flavor.
On the other hand, if you have any leftovers after serving, be sure to wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating them, unwrap each piece from its plastic wrap and place it on a baking sheet. Preheat your oven at 350°F (175°C) and heat them for about 5-7 minutes.

Tips for Perfect Results
If you want to ensure the perfect result of your Mocha Babycakes Cheesecakes, here are some tips and tricks that I recommend:
Firstly, make sure that all your ingredients are at room temperature before cooking. This includes your cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs. Bringing these ingredients to room temperature will ensure that they mix together properly and create a smooth batter without any lumps or bumps.
Secondly, when making this recipe or any other recipe that involves baking, measure all your ingredients accurately. Using too much or too little of an ingredient can affect the texture and taste of your final product.
Thirdly, it is essential not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to crack while baking or become dense in texture. Make sure to mix just until all the ingredients are combined.
Fourthly, if you prefer a crustless version, you can skip using chocolate cookie crumbs in the base.
Fifthly, if you want to elevate this recipe’s flavor profile a notch higher, use espresso mocha instead of regular coffee. It gives an extra kick of caffeine and bolsters its coffee flavor notes.
Moreover, baking time is also crucial for achieving perfect results. You want to bake your cheesecakes until they are set on the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. It takes about 20-25 minutes in total in a standard-sized muffin tin at 325°F.
Finally, once they’re done baking, allow them to cool completely before serving or storing them. Due to their miniature size, they tend to dry out quickly if left exposed for longer. You can store these Mocha Babycakes Cheesecakes in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container.
By following these tips and tricks, you’ll have luscious Mocha Babycakes Cheesecakes with no cracks and even better flavor.
