Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
Combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter in a bowl and mix until moistened. Press into muffin cavities and bake for 5 minutes.
Beat cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then egg and vanilla. Mix gently.
Spoon the cheesecake filling into each muffin cavity, filling about three-quarters full.
Bake the filled muffin tin for 13 to 15 minutes until centers are set with a slight jiggle. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Heat heavy cream until simmering, then pour over chocolate in a bowl. Stir until smooth to create ganache.
Once chilled, spoon ganache over each cheesecake bite. Allow to set in the fridge until serving.
