Learn how to make delicious Salted Toffee Cheesecake Bites. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

As someone who grew up cooking with my grandma, I’ve learned that simple ingredients, combined with a pinch of love, create the best dishes. Here’s what you’ll need to make these irresistible Salted Toffee Cheesecake Bites:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits, crushed)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz (2 cups) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup toffee bits (store-bought or homemade)
  • ¼ cup salted caramel sauce (optional, for extra richness)
  • Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling

If you’re like me and love experimenting, you can swap the graham cracker crumbs for digestive biscuits, which lend a slightly different flavor profile—more buttery and less sweet. The toffee bits can be homemade if you’re feeling adventurous, but store-bought works perfectly and saves time. A pinch of flaky sea salt on top is essential to bring out all the caramel notes, reminiscent of those afternoons spent watching my grandma sprinkle sea salt on her homemade caramel candies.

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will make it easier to handle the bites later.
  2. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a mini muffin tin or into small silicone molds to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. I find that using a handheld mixer makes this step quick and easy, just like my grandma used to do with her vintage hand mixer.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the airiness—this creates a light, fluffy filling that melts in your mouth.
  5. Fold in the toffee bits, saving a few for garnish. If using, swirl in the salted caramel sauce for extra richness.
  6. Spoon the filling into the prepared crusts, smoothing the tops with a small spatula or the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. I often make these the night before a gathering because they taste even better after chilling—like a little slice of heaven.
  7. Just before serving, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on each bite to amplify the caramel and toffee flavors. Adding a few extra toffee bits on top also gives a lovely crunch and visual appeal.
