Mini Mocha-Toffee Crunch Cheesecakes

Nice and simple dessert nibble. My guests did not rave over them though. The flavor is very mild. The center was set, but very soft, softer than a real cheesecake. The phyllo shell provided more crunch than the crust of any cheesecake, so crunch might have overpowered the creamy filling. They did look elegant. (I used shaved chocolate)

I made desserts for a friend's wedding this summer and made these because the groom (& myself) are huge coffee-addicts. During the test run, I decided I didn't like the toffee bits on the top so for the big day I shaved a milk chocolate bar (somewhat frozen, made it easier and less messy to shave!) and put the shavings on the top instead. I also chilled them a bit before serving (NOT overnight - the shells get soggy). They were a big hit.

FANTASTIC...I made these for a club meeting and all the gals asked for the recipe. Easy to make and they freeze well. Besides the toffe on top, I did some with mini chocolate chips.
