Chocolate Covered Mini Cheesecakes

A sweet nod to Priyaskitchn’s love of effortless elegance, these mini cheesecakes blend no-bake simplicity (inspired by a viral Allrecipes dessert that topped the charts for its creamy finish and 3-hour chill) with the indulgence of chocolate and berries from the charmingly glossy cheesecake bites seen on Life Made Simple Bakes.

The combination of velvety cheesecake, rich chocolate, and bright fruit bridges playful simplicity and decadent indulgence.

    Make The Crust

    Mix the cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until it looks like wet sand.

    Press that mix into a mini cheesecake liner so it holds together. Chill it in the fridge for 5 minutes to help it firm up.

    Make the Filling

    Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

    Use soft cream cheese so it’s easy to mix and there are no lumps!

    Fill the Level

    Spoon the cheesecake mixture into the chilled crust, filling it almost to the top.

    Tap the pan gently on the counter so the top looks smooth and even.

    Chill Time

    Cover the pan and put it in the fridge for 3 hours or until the cheesecake is set and firm.

    Don’t use the freezer—chilling too fast can make the crust hard and the filling not set right.

    Chocolate & Berries

    Melt the chocolate chips (add a little coconut oil if you want it shiny!).

    Dip the top of each cheesecake in the chocolate or spoon it on. Immediately top with fresh berries, raspberry or strawberry pieces work great!

    Final Chill

    Return the cheesecakes to the fridge for 10 minutes so the chocolate can set.

    Once the chocolate is firm, they’re ready to enjoy, or you can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
