Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate wafer crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners, then press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each liner.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing well. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, along with vanilla extract and heavy cream.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crusts, filling each liner almost to the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes.
- After cooling in the tin, gently transfer the cheesecakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Press an unwrapped Rolo candy into the center of each cooled cheesecake. Microwave a few seconds to soften. Allow cooling until the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the Mini Rolo Cheesecakes for at least 2 hours to firm up and enhance the flavors. Peel away the paper liners before serving.

Notes
For best results, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature and avoid overmixing after adding eggs to prevent cracks in the cheesecakes.
