4 Inch Strawberry Chocolate Cheesecake
"Cooking time includes chilling overnight and setting time for the topping. I adjusted several cheesecake recipes to be used with a 4 or 4 1/2 inch springform cheesecake pan. These small cheesecakes are great for those who cannot finish off a large cheesecake or who want a treat but don't want to tempt themselves to go overboard. If you want to make enough for a 9 inch pan multiply this recipe by 4."

I just adore these small cheesecake recipes. I didn't have strawberry schnapps so I had to choose between Butter Ripple Schnapps or Goldschlager. Goldschalger without hesitation! I used 95% fat free cream cheese and Splenda for the sugar and a regular graham cracker crust (less sugar). At this point I'll admit to not actually reading the ingredients in this before tagging it *blush*. The title sounded fabulous and it's cheesecake! I mean, how can you lose? Anyway, I ended up with the cutest little Cinnamon Strawberry Chocolate Cheesecake dressed with chocolate dipped strawberry halves (has anyone else noticed that there is no such thing as an average size strawberry any more, they're all monstrous!) that you could imagine. Oh! and I used bittersweet chocolate because I have a passion for it and Special Dark Cocoa. Beautiful recipe that bakes up perfectly that sinks in the center only about 1/16 of an inch. Thanks for a real keeper Nyte. -
This is a nice recipe for individual cheesecake. I added a little more sugar since I preferred a sweeter flavor. Thanks.

Married mother of twins. I very seldom ever use recipes as they are written, always modifying and adjusting them. Many times I will take three or four different recipes and come up with a new recipe based on those.
