How to prepare Hot Chocolate Mini Cheesecake?

First, you need to line muffin tin with cupcake liners. Then, combine Oreo crumbs with melted butter and divide the mixture between the cupcake liners and press. Meanwhile, mix cream cheese, sugar and instant hot cocoa mix, then add eggs and mix until it´s combined. Spread the mixture over the Oreo layer and bake at 325 F for around 23-25 min.

Let the cakes cool at a room temperature and then you need to put them in the fridge for at least 4 hours. To make chocolate handles, start with melting chocolate. Then, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, spoon melted chocolate into piping bag and cut its top off. Make 12 chocolate handles on the parchment paper and let them cool in the fridge.

Meanwhile, beat heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. When they are ready, take the mini cheesecakes out of the fridge, remove paper liners and top them with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate flakes and mini marshmallows.
