Mini Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecakes
Who wants to come to my house for Valentine’s Day? For our first dessert course we will be having Mini Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecakes with a dollop of hot fudge.
Did you catch that? I said for the first dessert course. Valentine’s Day is all about dessert and chocolate, and homemade pizza.
We’ve been baking up a Valentine’s Day storm in our kitchen – and we’ve been sharing some sneak peeks on our Facebook and Instagram pages, we invite you to join us so you’ll never miss out on this deliciousness.
I almost forgot about the best part of these mini chocolate strawberry cheesecakes..
they are healthier than regular mini cheesecakes! 57% less fat, 61% less saturated fat, and 37% fewer calories than the original recipe.
Which means it’s okay to have two, haha!
Recipe adapted from Betty Crocker.

YEAH girl!
The first course? I would like to be invited!!! These look so delicious and decadent!

Yes, l’d love to come for valentine’s if you’re serving these lively chocolate tarts.

I made these for a women’s study group at church, and they loved them. I’d like to make them using jumbo cups for an upcoming family reunion. What adjustments could I make to accomplish this?
these look amazing!!!
I tried to make it. But I can’t do it.
I will try again.
Thank for share!!
