1
Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with parchment liners. Place 1 1/4 cups Honey Nut Cheerios™ a blender or food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs. Pour crumbs into a bowl and mix with butter and sugar. Press crumb mixture into the bottom of each liner to form crusts.
2
In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy, add eggs, beating to incorporate, add sweetened condensed milk and 1 tablespoon amaretto. The mixture will be quite runny. Pour in each liner, on top of crust. Bake for 16-19 minutes, or until the center of each cheesecake has set. Remove and cool completely.
3
In a medium saucepan, toast almonds over medium-high heat, just until golden brown. Transfer to a small bowl. Add honey to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until boiling. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in toasted almonds and amaretto. Drizzle honey-caramel and almonds over cheesecakes just before serving.
