INGREDIENTS

Crumb Base

6 (6) chocolate cookies
1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) butter unsalted and softened

Filling

6 (6) chocolate coated honeycomb bars small/minis
250 g (1 cups) cream cheese
¾ cup (¾ cup) brown sugar
300 ml (1 ¼ cups) heavy cream
1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Garnish

6 (6) chocolate coated honeycomb bars small/minis

INSTRUCTIONS

Base

Blend cookies to a fine crumb using a food processor or stick blender. Add the softened butter to the crumbs and blend again until well combined.
Evenly distribute the mixture between 12 mini dessert cups, pressing gently to form a firm base.

Filling

Blend the chocolate-coated honeycomb bars to a fine crumb using a food processor or stick blender. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer to mix until well blended and smooth.
Add all of the heavy cream and the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until the mixture is well blended and thickens.
Fold in the crushed honeycomb gently with a silicone spatula, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Assembly

Transfer the filling into a piping bag and pipe onto the bases in the dessert cups, filling almost to the top.
Cut the chocolate honeycomb bars into large pieces and place them on top of each dessert cup to garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up slightly and for the flavors to meld together beautifully.

NOTES

For a smoother cheesecake filling, ensure that the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.

Be gentle when folding in the honeycomb pieces to maintain their texture.

Customize your dessert cups by adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce or caramel for an extra layer of flavor.

These dessert cups can be made a day ahead, making them perfect for entertaining.
