Equipment

  • Electric Mixer
  • Mini Muffin Pan
  • paper liners
  • mini cheesecake cups
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup waffle cone crumbs
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp butter melted
  • 1-1/2 pkg. cream cheese 8 oz. each (12 oz.), softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • Hot Fudge Topping Optional

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Combine 1/2 cup waffle cone crumbs, 1 1/2 TBSP sugar, and 2 Tbsp melted butter; press the mixture into the bottom of 24 mini muffin cups lined with paper liners or into the bottoms of 12 mini cheesecake cups.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer until well blended; add 1 egg and stir until just combined. Spoon the batter over the waffle cone crusts in the pans and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the centers are almost set. Remove from oven, cool completely, and store refrigerated. If desired, top with hot fudge sauce when serving.

Notes

Makes 24 mini cheesecakes or 12 slightly larger mini cheesecake cups depending on pan choice. Bake until centers are almost set to avoid cracks; chill completely before serving. Store refrigerated and add hot fudge just before serving if desired.
