Instructions
-
Prepare caramel sauce according to directions listed (only use 2 pinches table/sea salt instead). Pour into a jar and allow to cool completely.
Chocolate Ganache:
-
Place milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat heavy cream nearly to a boil, then pour over chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate has melted.
Cheesecake Filling and Topping:
-
In a bowl, using a fork, stir together crushed shortbread with melted butter until evenly moistened.
-
In a mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add 3 tablespoons of the powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
-
Scoop out a heaping ½ cup of the whipped cream mixture, transfer to a piping bag, and set aside in the refrigerator (this will be for the piped cream on top of the cheesecakes).
-
In a separate mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining powdered sugar (½ cup plus 3 tablespoons) and vanilla and mix to combine.
-
Stir and fold in the remaining whipped cream mixture that’s not refrigerated.
To Assemble:
-
Spoon 1½ tablespoons of chocolate ganache into the bottom of each cup. (Pour right into middle so it doesn’t run down the sides of the cup. Do a little less of each layer listed if making 8 servings).
-
Freeze or refrigerate until firm, then pour about 2 tablespoons of the shortbread crust mixture over the chocolate layer and gently spread and press into an even layer.
-
Spoon cheesecake filling into a large piping bag and pipe filling over the shortbread crust layer. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
-
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the caramel sauce over cheesecake filling. Top evenly with a heaping tablespoon of the coconut mixture.
-
Transfer remaining chocolate ganache (rewarm in microwave slightly so it’s pipe-able) to a small piping bag (or small resealable bag with the corner cut) and drizzle over coconut layer.
-
Top with the whipped cream mixture that was set aside. Serve within several hours of adding caramel and coconut topping.
