Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites

Ingredients

  • 250g semisweet chocolate
  • 14 raspberries
  • 226g cream cheese (1 8oz package)
  • 50g powdered sugar
  • 1tsp vanilla
  • 1/4c whipping cream
  • Crumbs from 8 graham crackers (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt 150g chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30s until melted.
  2. Using a pastry brush, paint the sides of a silicone ice-cube mold with chocolate.
  3. Put in the freezer while you make the cheesecake mixture.
  4. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Whip the cream.  Fold into cream cheese mixture.
  6. Fill each mold about 1/3 full with the mixture.  Push in a raspberry.  Twisting it in with the hole facing up is easiest.  Cover with more mixture.
  7. Sprinkle a layer of graham cracker crumbs on the top.  (Optional.)
  8. Melt the remaining chocolate and pour on top.  Make level as best you can.
  9. Place in the fridge.  They’ll be ready to eat in about an hour.

 

NOTES: Got stuck in.  Tried greasing with grapeseed oil, did not work.  Although I did freeze them and didn’t let them sit out…  Didn’t have silicone tray.
