Mini Cheesecake

Makes 12 Servings (12 mini cheesecakes)

 

Ingredients

2 cups crushed graham crackers, crushed finely

1 tbsp. butter, melted

1/4 cup semisweet white chocolate chips, melted

1/4 cup part-skim ricotta

1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

4 fresh strawberries, diced

 

Directions

  1. Add graham crackers and butter in bowl and stir until butter is evenly distributed.
  2. Using a spoon, take a layer of graham cracker mixture and divide evenly between muffin holders. Press firmly to make a graham cracker “bed” flat and even.
  3. Melt white chocolate chips using a double boiler until all chips are melted. If you don’t have a double broiler, use 2 pans, the bottom pan with boiling water and the top pan with the melting chocolate.
  4. Combine melted chocolate, ricotta and Greek yogurt in a small bowl.
  5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture on each graham cracker crust and top with a couple of strawberries.
  6. Place in fridge for about 30 minutes so the graham cracker crust hardens. Enjoy!!
