Ingredients:

• 200g biscuits (such as graham crackers or digestive biscuits)
• 100g melted butter
• 5 eggs
• 700g cream cheese
• 100g (1/2 cup) sugar
• 150g melted chocolate
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 40g (1/3 cup) hazelnut kernels

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. Mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined baking pan to form the crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add the Chocolate Swirls: In a separate bowl, mix the melted chocolate with the vegetable oil until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cheesecake batter and gently swirl it with a knife to create a marbled effect.
4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the hazelnut kernels evenly over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
5. Chill and Serve: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set. Once chilled, carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan and cut it into bite-sized squares. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Cook Notes and Variations:

• Crust Variations: Get creative with your crust by using different types of biscuits or cookies. Oreo cookies, shortbread biscuits, or even chocolate chip cookies can add a unique twist to your cheesecake bites.
• Topping Options: Experiment with various toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, caramel sauce, or crushed nuts to customize your cheesecake bites to your liking.
• Flavor Infusions: Enhance the flavor of your cheesecake bites by adding extracts such as vanilla, almond, or citrus zest to the filling. You can also fold in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.

Keto and Low Carb Versions:

For those looking to enjoy Cheesecake Bites while sticking to a keto or low-carb diet, here are some simple substitutions:

• Almond Flour Crust: Replace the biscuit crust with a mixture of almond flour, melted butter, and a keto-friendly sweetener such as erythritol or stevia. Press the mixture into the bottom of the baking pan and proceed with the recipe as directed.
• Sugar Substitute: Swap out the sugar for a low-carb sweetener such as monk fruit sweetener or stevia. Be sure to adjust the quantity to taste, as some sweeteners are sweeter than others.

• Cream Cheese: Opt for full-fat cream cheese to keep the carb count low and the texture creamy. Avoid reduced-fat or light cream cheese, as they may contain added sugars or starches.
