This creamy cup layers crisp apples with rich salted caramel cheesecake decadence 🍎🍯
Creamy Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake Cups

These are my go-to for fall get-togethers when I want something individually portioned.

Ingredients:

1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs
3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, melted
8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
8 oz (226g) frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided
3/4 cup (95g) apples, peeled and finely diced, patted dry
1/2 cup (150g) caramel sauce, divided
Flaky sea salt, for topping

Directions:

Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until it resembles wet sand
Divide and press a spoonful into the bottom of each serving cup to form a thin crust layer
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon together until completely smooth
Fold in half of the whipped topping until light and fluffy
Tip: Patting the diced apples dry before folding them in keeps the filling from turning watery
Fold in the diced apples
Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the crust layer in each cup
Top each cup with a dollop of the remaining whipped topping and a drizzle of caramel sauce
Sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving

This creamy bar layers tart raspberries with rich white chocolate cheesecake bliss 🍓🤍
No Bake Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake Cracker Bars

This is my favorite way to turn a handful of pantry crackers into an elegant no-oven dessert.

Ingredients:

24 buttery round crackers (like Ritz), crushed
6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted
16 oz (452g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
1 1/2 cups (185g) fresh raspberries, divided
3 tbsp (60g) seedless raspberry jam, warmed

Directions:

Mix crushed crackers with melted butter until it resembles wet sand
Press firmly into a parchment-lined 8x8 inch (20x20cm) pan to form an even crust
Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until completely smooth
Mix in the melted white chocolate and vanilla until fully combined
Tip: Let the melted white chocolate cool slightly before mixing in, or it can seize against the cold cream cheese
Fold in half of the raspberries, gently, keeping some texture and swirls of color
Spread the mixture evenly over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula
Scatter the remaining raspberries over the top, then dollop and swirl the warmed raspberry jam through them
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set, then lift out using the parchment overhang and slice into bars

Directions:

1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp fine salt
