Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients:

  • 250 grams (8.8 ounces) cream cheese
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 1 can caramel

Crust Ingredients:

  • 130 grams (4.6 ounces) tennis biscuits
  • 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) butter

Topping Ingredients:

  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Crush graham crackers into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
  2. Melt butter completely until smooth and liquid.
  3. Mix cracker crumbs with melted butter thoroughly, creating a compact base mixture.
  4. Evenly distribute the crumb mixture into the bottom of shooter glasses, pressing firmly to create a solid foundation.
  5. In a separate mixing bowl, blend cream cheese with two-thirds of the condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture over the cracker base, creating an even layer.
  7. Prepare a second layer of cracker crumbs, gently spreading over the cream cheese layer.
  8. Combine remaining condensed milk with caramel sauce until well integrated.
  9. Pour the caramel mixture into the glasses, filling them to the top.
  10. Chill in the refrigerator for approximately 60 minutes until set and firm.
  11. Garnish with a delicate swirl of whipped cream just before serving.

Notes

  • Choose graham crackers or digestive biscuits for a classic base that provides crunch and subtle sweetness.
  • Ensure butter is completely melted and mixed thoroughly with crumbs to create a stable, compact bottom layer.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and achieve a smooth, creamy texture when mixing with condensed milk.
  • Experiment with alternative crusts like crushed Oreos or gluten-free cookies for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
  • Layer ingredients carefully and evenly to create visually appealing shooter glass desserts with clean, distinct layers.
  • Chill glasses between layers to help each component set quickly and maintain structural integrity.
  • Drizzle extra caramel sauce on top for additional indulgence and visual appeal before serving.
  • Make ahead and store in refrigerator for up to 3 days, allowing flavors to meld and develop deeper richness.
