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.

You’ll love the espresso flavor in these!

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!

Ingredients
  

  • 9 ounces Chocolate Wafer Cookies crushed
  • 8 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 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
  • Hot fudge sauce for drizzling, optional

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.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the prepared crust. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Serve plain, or garnish with a sprinkling of espresso powder and/or a drizzle of hot fudge sauce.
