Cookie crumb crust
Now, normally I would have made the cookie crumbs in the food processor, that would be the easiest way to make them, and the way I would recommend.
However, in this case, we are staying in our shabin. (A term I’ve adopted from my wonderful neighbor, Mary. It stands for shabby cabin! I love it!).
And, well, lets just say that I don’t have all my cool kitchen toys like a food processor. I didn’t even have a hand mixer before I started making these cheesecake bites. I had to go buy one.
If you don’t have a food processor either, the cookie crumbs can be made in a plastic ziptop bag. Take a rolling pin to crush them, if you have a rolling pin, which I don’t, I had to use the bottom of a measuring cup to crush the cookies. But, they still came out great! I decided to use the whole box of cookies rather than have a little bit leftover.
For the garnish on these cheesecake bites, I decided to use a little espresso powder (my husband’s suggestion). And, then I topped some of them off with hot fudge sauce! So super amazingly delicious! And so easy.
Everyone will love these, and you’ll love how easy they are to make!

No Bake Espresso Cheesecake Bites
Ingredients
- 1 box 9 ounces Chocolate Wafer Cookies, crushed
- 8 tablespoons melted coconut oil

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup cold heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder plus additional for garnish

Instructions
- For the crust: in a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and coconut oil, stirring until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch pan. Refrigerate until the filling is ready.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, using an electric hand held mixer or an electric stand mixer, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add the sour cream and cream, and continue to mix until the mixture is thickened about, 4-5 minutes. Add the espresso powder and gently mix in.
