Skeleton Cheesecakes
Ingredients:
Crust
- 2 Cups Chocolate Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 1/3 Cup brown sugar
- 8 Tbsp Prairie Farms butter melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz Prairie Farms cream cheese softened
- 2/3 Cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 Cup Prairie Farms sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Ganache
- 1/2 Cup dark chocolate chips
- 3 Tbsp Prairie Farms Heavy Whipping Cream
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare muffin tin with liners.
- Prepare the crust by stirring together chocolate graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press 2 tablespoons of crumb mixture into muffin tin cups.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy. Mix in sour cream until smooth.
- Fill muffin cups ¾ of the way full. Bake in the middle rack of the oven until edges are set but center slightly jiggles, about 15-18 minutes. Remove and set on cooling rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the ganache. Add chocolate chips to a small bowl. Heat up heavy cream in a microwave and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for a couple minutes until chocolate chips have softened and stir until completely melted and combined.
- Let ganache cool and thicken slightly. Add to piping bag and cut a small hole in the tip. Pipe a skeleton face onto the cooled cheesecakes.
- Refrigerate until ready to enjoy. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
