Using a large cookie scoop (3 Tbsp) scoop dough into muffin tins.
Bake for approx. 10-13mins or until mostly set, but still soft in the middle.

Cool in pans for 10mins, loosen each slightly by twisting it in the pan. Cool for 5 more minutes then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks (ideally with a cold whisk and in a cold bowl).
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add whipped cream into cream cheese mixture and beat until combined.
Using a small food-safe paintbrush, paint two stripes on the inside of a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Carefully fill with cheesecake filling.
Pipe a swirl into cooled cookie cups and refrigerate until set (approx. 1-2 hours).
Sprinkle with chopped candy canes if desired.
Serve chilled and eat within 2-3 days. Or freeze for up to 4 weeks (without chopped candy).
