• Ingredients 
  
• Caramel:
  
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup water
• Cheesecakes:
• 6 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
• ¼ cup boiling water
• 1 ½ pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
• ½ cup plus 2 TBSP sugar
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 5 ounces ripe blackberries, rinsed and patted dry

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 325F.

To make the caramel, combine sugar and water in a 1-quart saucepan. Stir(do no whisk) gently over medium heat until most of the sugar is dissolved.

Stop stirring and bring mixture to a simmer. Cover and simmer 2-3 minutes to dissolve the sugar.

Uncover and increase the heat to medium. Simmer without stirring until the syrup begins to color. Swirl the pan to evenly distribute the color.

Cook until the caramel is a slightly reddish amber color. Immediately pour equal amount or caramel into 5 ounce ramekin(or 6 ounce). Tilt each cup to spread caramel over the bottom and partway up the sides. Set cups aside to cool.

To make cheesecakes, place the chocolate in a small bowl. Pour the boiling water over the chocolate ans stir until smooth.

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese just until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl and beaters.

Add the sugar and vanilla and beat just until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

Add 1 egg and beat until incorporated. Scrape the bowl and beaters. Beat in second egg. Stir in the melted chocolate.

Divide the berried among the caramel cups, pouring the batter among the cups, pouring it on top of the berries.

Place cups in a baking pan that is deep enough to hold water. Carefully pour some boiling water into the baking pan to a depth of 1 inch.

Bake until the edges of the cheesecakes are puffed but the centers still jiggle when the cups are tapped., 15-20 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven. Use tongs to transfer each cup from the hot water to a rack to cool completely.

Cover and refrigerate over night or even longer.

To unmold, run a knife around the cheesecakes edges and invert onto individual serving plates.

• This Mini Blackberry Carmel Cheesecakes was out of this world.... Making this not only a few weeks ago... but my family loved it.... something you can just do together and have a nice convo with family to sit back and bake is a nice together time... the texture along side of the way it taste was something I haven't had in a good while with a cheesecake. everybody got they own individual pieces and its easy to fix up right before you cook your meals.... I considered this then a regular cheesecake because its unique in may ways and your stomachs can be the judge of that.
