MINI MOCHA-TOFFEE CRUNCH CHEESECAKES

Category: Cheesecake

36 commercial pre-baked miniature phyllo dough shells
1 1/2 tsp instant coffee granules
1 tsp hot water
1 tsp Kahlua (coffee-flavored liqueur)
1/2 cup pkg sugar
2 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
1 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
3 tbsp toffee bits (such as Skor)

Look for prebaked miniature phyllo dough shells in your supermarkets freezer section or at Middle Eastern markets. (There are usually 15 shells in a pkg.) Place the shells in miniature muffin cups to prevent them from over browning.

Preheat oven to 350 Place 1 phyllo shell into each of 36 miniature muffin cups.

Combine coffee granules, hot water, and Kahlúa in a small bowl. Place coffee mixture, sugar, and the next 5 ingredients (sugar through egg) in a food processor; process until smooth. Spoon about 1 tbsp cheese mixture into each shell; discard the remaining filling. Sprinkle cheesecakes evenly with toffee bits. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until set. Remove from pans, and cool on a wire rack. Yield: 3 dozen (serving size: 1 mini cheesecake)
