MINI TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKES

Are you a hardcore chocoholic? Do you carry chocolate around with you at all times in case of an emergency (is it just me?). Do you like to have a chocolate overdose at least once a month (or every week)? Well, enter these Mini Triple Chocolate Cheesecakes! They’re perfect for the ultimate chocolate lover who wants a dessert that’s just pure chocolate, with no other flavours getting in the way.

If you’re not super big on chocolate, you can checkout these Mini Strawberry Cheesecakes, although they’re topped with chocolate and chocolate covered strawberries. You can also check out these Mini Ferrero Rocher Stuffed Nutella Cheesecakes, though those are also full of chocolate. What can I say? I’m absolutely obsessed!
