Skinny Chocolate Cheesecake

October 26, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 21 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I already wrote my post for today yesterday, but after making Thursday nights dessert, I couldn’t wait till Saturday to share it with you!  After all it’s rich, creamy and oh so chocolaty and I mean chocolaty!  With that description, how could I not share it with you right away?  Let me introduce you to my newest cheesecake.

Let me tell you I even impressed myself with this treat!!  Not only is this treat so dam, yes I’m swearing, dam good, it’s only, get this, it’s only 101 calories!!  I haven’t a clue on how I managed this, no clue at all.  But I triple checked the stats and they are correct!!!  How can something that tastes like a combination of chocolate mousse meets cheesecake and be only 101 calories?  Don’t question it, just make it and eat it!!!


I used a combination of Ghiradelli Intense Dark Chocolate 72% Cacao, and Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Pounder Bar.  I was hoping to make the chocolate darker in color and put a spider web design on it, but I tried it with one of the cheesecakes and I didn’t do a good job of decorating it!  So, to make it pretty, I topped it with whip cream and a wedge of dark chocolate   I think whip cream and more chocolate complimented it very nicely, if I do say so myself.

These cheesecakes are pretty quick and easy to make too!  They would be perfect served at a Halloween party or with a side of strawberries for a romantic evening!  Or you can celebrate you and have one or two!  To make them, I mixed cream cheese, stevia, egg, vanilla and plain yogurt together, then beat in the melted chocolate.  Then I placed the batter in a muffin cup with a reduced fat vanilla wafer, bake for 20 minutes and they are done!  The only problem is, waiting for them to cool!  These guys were refrigerated for 4 hours and I couldn’t wait for them to be done!!  You don’t even know how bad I wanted to eat one!!!

Now can you see why I couldn’t wait to share this recipe with you?  I was so excited!  I wonder if there will be leftovers to take to work tomorrow.  My Friend told me she missed my cheesecakes, so for the Halloween Season I had to make her a chocolate one!  I better hide it in the fridge so my Husband and Little Jenny don’t eat them all!

I think this is a great way to start the weekend!!!  So you must make these!!!  You simply must!  Trust me if you like cheesecake and chocolate mousse, you will LOVE these mini cheesecakes!!

Have a great weekend!

Toodles,

Jen

    Looks super good! I am going to bookmark this one for after the Holidays. I realized I am getting no where with my food right now. San Francisco pretty much clinched that one.

    Oh My Goodness, this looks absolutely decadent. If all low calorie desserts looked as good as this one, I would be able to get healthier treats into my sweet toothed husband, instead of all the junk food he loves.. Looks like a winner Jennifer, I pinned it for you. Thanks for sharing it with the SRC!.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
