Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c chopped pecans
1/4 c butter, melted
FILLING
2 pkg (8oz) cream cheese
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c sour cream
2 eggs, lightly beating
1/2 tsp vanilla
COATING
24 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 Tbsp shortening

Steps:

  • 1. Line a 9" square baking pan with foil and grease the foil.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, pecans, and butter. Press into prepared pan, set aside.
  • 3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust. Bake at 325* for 35-40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack. Freeze overnight.
  • 4. In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Cool slightly
  • 5. Using foil, lift cheesecake out of pan. Gently peel off foil; cut into 1 1/4" squares. Work with a few pieces at a time for dipping; keep remaining squares refrigerated until ready to dip.
  • 6. Using a toothpick, completely dip squares, one at a time, in melted chocolate, allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Let stand for 20 minutes or until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

I love that these cheesecake squares can be made ahead of time. I made them the day before my party and they were still perfect the next day.

These cheesecake squares are the perfect size for a party. They're small enough that you can eat one or two without feeling too full, but they're also big enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.
