Mini Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecakes

Mini Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecakes

Gather these ingredients before you start...

Chocolate-covered Strawberries:

  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

  • 2 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped

  • 12 small fresh strawberries

Chocolate Cheesecakes:

  • 20 chocolate sandwich cookies

  • 5 tablespoons butter, cubed and melted

  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

  • 1 package (8 ounces) Cream Cheese, softened

  • 1 container (8 ounces) Mascarpone cheese

  • 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Now, that you’ve got all your ingredients, let’s get right into the process…

Chocolate-Covered Strawberries:

  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.

  • Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power in 30-second intervals, while continuously stirring until smooth. Repeat these steps to melt white baking chocolate in another bowl.

  • Pat the strawberries dry with a paper towel. Dip each strawberry into the semi-sweet chocolate; and let any excess chocolate drip off. Place the chocolate covered strawberries on a prepared pan and drizzle them with white baking chocolate. Let them stand at room temperature until chocolate is set.

Chocolate Cheesecakes:

  • Place cookies in a food processor; cover and pulse until fine crumbs. To this, add butter and pulse until the mixture is combined. Divide and press crumbs into paper-lined muffin cups and freeze for approximately 10 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, melt some semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power in 30-second intervals (similar to what we did for the chocolate covered strawberries). Cool the chocolate completely and keep stirring occasionally.

  • Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy. To this, add mascarpone cheese, confectioners’ sugar and chocolate; beat until the mixture is blended well together.

  • Beat whipping cream in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the above mascarpone mixture.

  • Spoon or pipe this over crusts. Top each with a chocolate covered strawberry and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until serving.

Enjoy!
