Description

Rich, velvety mini cheesecakes infused with espresso, dark chocolate, and Kahlua. Set on a crunchy chocolate biscuit base and topped with coffee-whipped cream.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 g Choc Ripple biscuits
  • 80 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp gelatine powder
  • 375 g cream cheese, chopped, room temperature
  • 160 ml thickened cream
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp freshly brewed espresso, cooled
  • 2 tbsp Kahlua liqueur
  • 180 g dark chocolate block, melted and cooled
  • 120 g Coles Finest Hazelnut Brittle & White Chocolate Mini Easter Eggs, halved, to decorate
  • Coffee beans, to decorate
  • Iced coffee syrup, to drizzle
  • 200 ml thickened cream
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp freshly brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 tbsp Kahlua

Instructions

  1. Cut 12 strips of baking paper (2 cm × 15 cm). Lightly grease twelve 80 ml muffin pans and place a baking paper strip in each for easy removal.
  2. Process biscuits until coarsely crushed. Add melted butter and process again. Divide among muffin holes and press firmly to form bases. Chill.
  3. Place 1 1/2 tbsp water in a microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle gelatine over the top and let stand for 2 minutes. Microwave for 20 seconds and whisk until dissolved. Cool.
  4. For the filling, process cream cheese, cream, sugar, espresso, and Kahlua until smooth. Add cooled melted chocolate and process again.
  5. With the processor running, pour in the cooled gelatine mixture. Blend until fully combined.
  6. Divide cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled bases. Smooth tops and tap the pan to level. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  7. To make the coffee cream, beat cream, sugar, espresso, and Kahlua with electric beaters until soft peaks form.
  8. Lift each cheesecake out using the baking paper tabs. Top with coffee cream, a halved Easter egg, and coffee beans. Drizzle with iced coffee syrup before serving.
