Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with gluten-free crumbs for a GF version.
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar Consider using coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
  • 4 tablespoons Melted Butter Coconut oil offers a great dairy-free option.
For the Filling
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Softened; substitute with vegan cream cheese for a dairy-free version.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Can be replaced with a sugar alternative for lower sugar options.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for pure extract for an authentic taste.
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream Substitute with plain yogurt or dairy-free yogurt, if needed.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare mini muffin tins with non-stick spray or paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, mixing until the texture resembles wet sand. Press into mini muffin tins.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually mix in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, melted chocolate, and egg until silky.
  4. Carefully pour the filling over each crust in the mini muffin tins, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly. Allow to cool completely at room temperature.
  6. Refrigerate the bites for at least 2 hours before serving for enhanced flavors.
  7. Optional: Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the tops. Top with fresh berries or nuts, if desired.
