1. **Prepare the Crust:**
– In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
– Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of mini muffin tins or silicone molds. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to press the crumbs down evenly.
– Refrigerate the crusts while you prepare the filling.
2. **Make the Cheesecake Filling:**
– In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
– In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
– Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
– Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops.
3. **Prepare the Caramel Sauce:**
– In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar, stirring constantly until it turns a golden amber color.
– Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the butter until melted and combined.
– Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously until smooth. Stir in a pinch of salt.
– Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before drizzling it over the cheesecake filling.
4. **Make the Chocolate Ganache:**
– Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
– Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just starts to simmer.
– Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.
5. **Assemble the Bites:**
– Spoon or pipe the chocolate ganache over the caramel layer on each cheesecake bite.
– Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt or chopped nuts if desired.
6. **Chill and Serve:**
– Refrigerate the bites for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set and the bites are firm.
– Pop them out of the molds and serve chilled.
