Description
Indulge in these creamy, no-bake cheesecake cups with a delightful chocolate and strawberry swirl, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (about 85 g) melted semisweet chocolate (or dark chocolate)
- 1 cup (about 150 g) strawberries, pureed (fresh or thawed frozen)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (about 120 g) whipped cream (lightly sweetened)
- Chocolate shavings or fresh strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and free of lumps — scrape sides for even mixing.
- Add the sour cream and melted chocolate, and mix until well combined and glossy. (Tip: let the melted chocolate cool slightly so it doesn’t overheat the cream cheese.)
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Fold in the whipped cream gently for a lighter texture.
- In serving cups, layer the chocolate cheesecake mixture, filling about two-thirds of each cup. If using a crust, press the crust into the bottom before layering.
- Create a swirl by adding pureed strawberries on top of the chocolate layer and gently mixing with a skewer to maintain visible streaks.
- Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh strawberries.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving (overnight yields the best flavor).
Notes
These cups can be made a day ahead; add fresh whipped cream just before serving.
