Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake Muffins

Delicious chocolate caramel cheesecake muffins combining a crunchy biscuit base with creamy cheesecake topping and a hint of caramel and dark chocolate.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 28 minutes
  • Yield: 10 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (7.5 oz) package Pillsbury biscuits (or equivalent), cut into pieces
  • 2 graham cracker squares (13g), crushed
  • 6 oz softened light cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon flour
  • 3 tablespoons egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free caramel syrup
  • 1.5 squares Lindt 70% dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12-hole muffin pan with 10 cupcake liners; lightly spray liners.
  2. Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces.
  3. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and place in a small bag.
  4. Coat 8 biscuit pieces at a time in the graham cracker crumbs and place coated pieces into cupcake liners; repeat for all biscuits.
  5. In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, flour, egg whites, milk, and vanilla until creamy.
  6. Scoop about 1 heaping tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on top of biscuit pieces in each liner; shake pan gently to even out mixture.
  7. Bake for 18 minutes, then remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Refrigerate muffins for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

For best texture, refrigerate the muffins after baking to allow the cheesecake layer to set. Using sugar-free caramel syrup reduces sweetness without compromising flavor. Melting dark chocolate adds a rich finishing touch.
