For chocolate lovers, mini chocolate cherry cheesecake.
I use silicone muffin cups in this recipe, it is easy to remove the cheesecake from the cups. If you like, you can add one dessert spoon cocoa powder and 1/3 cup ground hazelnut to the cracker mixture.
I got 14 mini cheesecakes from this recipe. It may change with the size of your muffin cups.
You do not have to prepare cherry sauce, you can just serve with fresh fruits also but I highly recommend you to try this amazing sauce over your chocolate cheesecakes.
