Mini-Chocolate Cheesecake
- 1 ounce semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 4 oz light cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 4 mini-graham-cracker crusts
- Optional: 1 cup sliced berries or whipped cream
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cooking time: About 25 minutes
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Zap in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted, about 2 minutes total.
- Use an electric mixer to blend cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add egg and mix well. Add chocolate and mix well. Divide filling among crusts.
- Bake about 25 minutes, until tops are slightly puffed and dry-looking. Chill before serving. Top cheesecakes with berries or whipped cream, if desired.
- How kids can help: Measure and mix ingredients; wash berries; top cakes with garnish, if desired.
- These sweet treats are fancy (and fast) enough for last-minute dinner guests too!
