Treat yourself with this portion-controlled Chocolate Mousse Mini Cheesecake recipe. No questions asked, nothing beats a simple mini dessert on the date night menu!
I’m a big one-bowl, no mess, no bake, from-a-mix kinda gal for most events. I’m not too proud to whip up a boxed cake with store-bought frosting for certain celebrations. It makes my life easier, plus sometimes that stuff is delicious. However, there are some days that call for bringing out the big guns like springform pans, double-boilers, water-baths, a few more bowls, plus a little time and love. One such occasion in my house is a special date night in since they are so rare.

Ingredients Instructions Notes Home Chef Tip: A big part of making a successful cheesecake is to not over-mix the batter. This causes too much air to get into the batter which can lead to cracking when it is baked. The creaming process incorporates air into the cheesecake, so it's important that it is creamed well to give the cheesecake a light and fluffy texture, but don't over-beat the batter once adding the eggs.
Isn’t it gorgeous? You don’t need too much of this beauty to feel completely spoiled, so the portion-controlled size is perfect and so fun to present. Plus, if you have two 6-inch springform pans around, it is a great recipe to double for a bigger group. Top with different add ons so that guests have a variety to choose from.
There is so much to love about every part of this Chocolate Mousse Mini Cheesecake recipe. From the rich and creamy filling, to the fluffy mousse, and the sweet dark chocolate-dipped berries. Plus it makes the most stunning presentation that is nearly foolproof.
