Can you imagine serving these pretty Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecakes at one of your Holiday parties coming up? You will be the talk of the party when you serve these. Not only are these pretty but they are no bake and extremely yummy too!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 oreos
1 cup frozen strawberries, thawed
6 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
whipped cream for topping
fresh mint for garnish
Ganache:
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
Directions:
Add Oreos to a food processor, blender or simply crush them in a bag with a rolling-pin and blend until you get crumbs. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter and Oreo crumbs until wet. Press a few teaspoons of the mixture into the bottom of each jar or glass, pressing down with the bottom of a thicker object (like I used an ice cream scoop) to flatten them out. Refrigerate while you make the cheesecake.
In the bowl of your electric mixer, add beat cream cheese, mascarpone and strawberries (and their juice) until combined and smooth, scraping down the sides when needed. Make sure the strawberries are pretty blender, but if a few lumps remain, it’s fine. With the mixer on low-speed, slowly drizzle in the condensed milk, continuing to scrape down the sides until the mixture is very smooth. Add in vanilla extract and mix one more time to combine. Pour cheesecake mixture evenly over top of crusts. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
Heat the heavy cream until warm, then pour over the milk chocolate, stirring until melted to make a ganache. Remove the cheesecakes from the fridge and spoon an equal amount of the ganache over top of the strawberry cheesecake. Refrigerate for another 30-60 minutes. Serve with whipped cream on top and a garnish of mint, plus a chocolate covered strawberry if desired.
Enjoy!
I’d like to know where you got those cute little glass jars? These look so yummy!
Where did you get the jars from? Are they baby food jars?
Oh my, these look lovely! I am having an event this week, a holiday boutique, and these will be perfect! Mind if I ask where the incredible lil cups came from?
Thanks!
