Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecake are a simple bite-sized dessert everyone will love. Creamy vanilla cheesecake studded with mini chocolate chips, and baked with a chocolate crust.
My Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes are a big hit with my family. My kids love the little chocolate chips and chocolaty crust.
I loved how easy is recipe is, and that it was a perfect bite to end the meal. My Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes travel nicely and are a favorite sweet treat to bring to a get-together.
I love using mini chocolate chips in desserts like this because you get a lot morsel of chocolate in each bite. I also topped the cheesecakes with a little whipped cream and extra mini chocolate chips because why wouldn't you?!
