Rolo Mini Cheesecakes

At the beginning of the year I did a time study and efficiency audit on myself. I was long overdue! Being self-employed takes an enormous amount of self-discipline. When I punched a clock I could slack off and still count on a paycheck. Now, it’s sink or swim.

I did an inventory of all the things I needed to improve on, in both my personal and professional life. They are so closely woven together that when one suffers, the other suffers with it. I admitted to several areas that needed improvement, but the one that stands out the most is sleep. I was so short on sleep, that I knew I needed more sleep before I could even meet with myself to do the audit!

I was so sleep deprived I couldn’t focus. My sleep deprivation became a disease that I was just coping with instead of curing, and the worst part is it was self-inflicted! My quality of life was suffering and I knew I had to do better about getting more sleep. The only way to maximize my time is to be able to think clearly, and I was constantly in a brain fog. The tentacles of exhaustion were slowing me down.

Fast forward a few weeks and I finally feel rested and wake up every morning ready to slay the day! I am back to myself after several months of procrastinating and not prioritizing sleep. Wish I would have done it sooner, but here we are, doing better now and that’s progress I am proud of.

Sleep, people. It’s the magic pill everyone is looking for, but can’t find, to cure all of their problems!

I feel like that’s reason to celebrate, so let’s party with a batch (you’ll want to double it right away) of these Mini Rolo Cheesecakes! These are so amazing, I have no words. If you love Rolo’s you’ll love these! They are absolutely delicious! You’ll probably love Rolo Pretzel Turtles , Rolo Brookie Cups , Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark , and 3-Ingredient Twix Bites , too!

What You’ll Need for the Crust

1 cup Oreo Crumbs

2 tbsp Butter, Melted

The Cheesecake

12 oz Cream Cheese, Softened

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

3 tbsp Flour

1/2 cup Sour Cream

1 1/2 tsp Vanilla

2 Eggs

3/4 cup Rolos, Chopped

And the Ganache

1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

1 1/2 tbsp Butter

2 tsp Milk

2 tsp Corn Syrup

How to Make Mini Rolo Cheesecakes

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line muffin pan with liners.

Pulse 11-12 Oreos in a food processor to make 1 cup crumbs. Then pulse in 2 tbsp melted butter until well combined.

Spoon 1 tbsp of the cookie mixture into each liner and press down firmly.

Bake crusts for 5 minutes, then remove from oven and reduce heat to 300 degrees.

In a large bowl, beat together 12 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 3 tbsp flour until well combined.

Beat in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla.

Add in 2 eggs, one at a time, beating until just combined.

Gently fold in 3/4 cup chopped Rolo’s.

Fill cups to just about full.

Bake for 13 minutes, then turn oven off and leave door closed for 10 minutes.

Crack oven door open and allow cheesecakes to cool for 15-20 minutes. Then transfer to the refrigerator to finish cooling.

Once they are cooled and firm, make ganache by melting together 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1 1/2 tbsp butter, 2 tsp milk, and 2 tsp corn syrup in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until completely well combined and smooth.

Divide evenly between cheesecakes and top with additional chopped Rolo’s.
