Ingredients:
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Chocolate KidzProtein
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (for the crust)
1/4 cup melted butter
Halloween-themed toppings: candy eyes, orange and black sprinkles, gummy worms, etc.
Instructions:
Prepare Your Oven: Preheat to 325°F and line a muffin tin with festive Halloween liners.
Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust.
Whip Up the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, Chocolate KidzProtein, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
Fill & Bake: Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the crusts, filling each liner nearly to the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the centers are just set.
Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for the best results).
Decorate: Here’s where the fun begins! Let your kids help you top the cheesecake with Halloween decorations—think candy eyes, spooky sprinkles, or gummy worms crawling out of the top. The more creative, the better!
Why You’ll Love It:
These Spooky Halloween Cheesecake are the perfect balance of fun and nutrition! The added Chocolate KidzProtein gives this festive dessert a hidden boost of protein that will make you feel good about indulging. And because they’re bite-sized, they’re great for little hands (and portion control, if you can resist grabbing more than one!).
Tips & Tricks:
Get Spooky: Turn this into a fun family activity by setting up a decorating station. Your kids will love creating their own spooky designs with all sorts of Halloween toppings!
Make It Ahead: You can bake the cheesecake a day or two before the big Halloween party. Just store them in the fridge until you’re ready to decorate and serve.
Switch Up the Crust: Don’t have chocolate sandwich cookies? Try using graham crackers or even gluten-free cookies for a different flavor.
With these Spooky Halloween Cheesecake, you’ve got a spooky, fun, and delicious treat that’s perfect for this festive season. Your kids will love the decorating, and you’ll love knowing they’re sneaking in some extra protein with every bite. Trick and treat all in one!
