Method
 

Crafting the Crust

Whip Up the Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
Mix the Two
  1. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
Assembly Time
  1. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crusts.
Chill Out
  1. Cover the mini cheesecakes with plastic wrap and pop them in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Top it Off
  1. When you’re ready to serve, drizzle generously with caramel and chocolate sauce, and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
