Ingredients

For the crust

  • 125 g Honey graham crackers crumbs or ground
  • 3 tbsp butter melted

For the Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Filling

  • cups Heavy cream or 2½ cups whipped cream
  • 250 g cream cheese softened
  • 300 ml dulce de Leche in a can
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For butterfly chocolate topping

  • 100 g milk chocolate chips melted

Instructions

Prepare the crust

  • Crush or grind honey graham crackers in a bag, use a rolling pin or use a food processor. Add sugar to taste, if desired.
  • Transfer in a medium-size bowl. Add melted butter, mix until combined. If using a food processor, pour the melted butter inside the food processor with the ground graham crackers and press pulse to combine.
  • Scoop 2 tbsp of graham mixture in each cup. Press it down with the back of the ice cream scoop. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes.

Prepare the vanilla whipped cream

  • In a chilled bowl, beat whipping cream and pure vanilla extract until stiff peaks.

Make the dulce de leche cheesecake mixture

  • In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat cream cheese until smooth, add the dulce de leche. Scrape the bowl. Beat until silky smooth.
  • At low speed add the vanilla whipped cream and mix until well blended.
  • For easy and clean transfer of the cheesecake mixture in the jars, use a piping bag and cut the end about half an inch.
  • Squeeze the piping bag with the cheesecake mixture into each cup about 3/4 full. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set and firm.

Make the chocolate butterfly topping

  • Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe small bowl.
  • Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or microwave for 20 seconds at a time then stir and put it back in the microwave until it completely melts. Transfer in a small piping bag.
  • Trace the 2 to 3 inches printed butterfly of your choice over a parchment paper. Start piping around the lines of the printed butterfly. Place in between the inverted muffin pan or in an open book. Let it dry and place it on top of the dulce de leche cheesecake.
