Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 cup digestive biscuits or graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the toppings:

1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup chocolate sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the digestive biscuit crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are well-coated with butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottoms of 12 mini cheesecake cups or muffin tins. Use the back of a spoon to ensure an even layer. Place in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

    Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until fully incorporated. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

      Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being gentle to maintain the airiness.

        Assemble the cheesecakes: Remove the crusts from the refrigerator. Spoon the cheesecake filling into each mini crust, filling them evenly. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

          Add the toppings: Once set, remove the cheesecakes from the fridge. Drizzle each mini cheesecake with caramel and chocolate sauce. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if using.

            Serve: Carefully remove the mini cheesecakes from the tins and place them on a serving platter. Enjoy immediately or keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve!
