  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Prepare a cupcake pan lined with paper liners.
  2. Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of each liner to form the crust.
Making the Filling

  2. Add vanilla, sour cream, and mix until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips and half of the salted caramel sauce.
Baking
  1. Fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 full with cheesecake filling.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, leaving the center slightly jiggly.
  3. Let cool in the oven for 10 minutes. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Serving
  1. Drizzle with remaining caramel and sprinkle with sea salt before serving.

Notes

To achieve the best texture, serve slightly chilled with a thin, warm drizzle of caramel. Can also add extra chocolate chips or toasted nuts for presentation.
