Potted Chocolate Cheesecake


These are adorable and so fun for a party!! I like the idea of using no-bake cheesecake and the sprig of mint at the top makes them look more appetizing than the gummy worms that I used to use for my kids.

These little desserts may not be ultra-gourmet, but they are super easy, whimsical, and perfectly yummy……….they’ll make your guests smile.

Make Mother’s Day really special………she’ll love it even more if you clean up the kitchen afterward. 🙂

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 11 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 20 chocolate wafer cookies
  • mint sprigs for garnish

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Place chocolate chips in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. If necessary, microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring after each heating, just until chips are melted when stirred. Set aside to cool.
  2. Visit Potted Chocolate Cheesecake @ tidymom.net for full recipe and instructions.

Cheesecake Bites

Bringing it to a dinner as a tiny-bites dessert will please everyone who has a tendency to overeat. But it will be rich and flavorful!  Cheesecake bites are nothing more than little chocolate-covered morsels of creamy cheesecake. No special equipment and no water bath needed, since chocolate covers any cracks. SO good! There’s just something about taking an otherwise ordinary, classic cheesecake, slicing it into 1-inch squares, and dipping them in chocolate. I promise you these will be the first treat to go at a party! Ingredients:     For the crust 1 1/2 cups (225 g) gluten free cookie crumbs (I used my “Nabisco” GF Honey-Maid Grahams, from Classic Snacks) 5 tablespoons (70 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled     For the filling 2 8-ounce packages (total: 16 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar (can reduce to 1/2 cup (100 g) for a less-sweet version) 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 2 tablespoons (18 g) cornstarch (or try arrowroot) 2 eggs (100 g, weigh

This is such a gorgeous and perfect dessert for Mother’s Day. Lovely! Most definitely show stopping! That vibrant pink is perfect for Mother’s Day – love all the fresh raspberries in this one! o, so pretty and the color is stunning.  I love, love, LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it several times and it’s always a hit. I add a sprig of fresh mint to steep for 5 minutes before straining the fruit which adds a nice flavor. I also tried a blackberry/blueberry/basil version this week that was equally delicious! Awesome recipe! This tart was fantastic! It was everything I was hoping it would be. The curd was velvety, tart, and delicious.
