Tiny Chocolate Cheesecakes
Submitted by glory on January 05, 2003 at 9:54 am

1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup chocolate wafer cookie crumbs (I use Oreos)
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. Cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup semisweet chocolate mini-morsels, melted
garnishes: whipped cream, semisweet chocolate mini morsels

Grease miniature (1 3/4 inch) muffin pans with butter. Sprinkle each muffin cup (5 dozen) with 1 tsp. Chocolate crumbs, turn pans upside down to discard excess crumbs.

*NOTE: I used tiny gold foil cups instead of doing it this way. Chocolate INMO, looks best in gold.
Beat cream cheese at high speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in melted chocolate.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon into each prepared muffin cup. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks about 5 minutes. Carefully remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Chill up to two days or freeze up to one month. Yield 5 dozen.
