Cheesecake squares, lightened up with yogurt and light cream cheese, baked on a chocolate graham cracker crust drizzled with melted chocolate and topped with fresh raspberries.
Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you NEED to make this cheesecake!
A few years ago I first attempted my first cheesecake with yogurt, and since then I never looked back. I adapted this from my very popular Strawberry Swirled Cheesecake with chocolate in mind, of course.
And since I always second guess myself when making lightened up desserts, I gave this to some of my family members, and they loved it! So, if you need an idea for Valentine’s Day (or any day) give this dessert a try.
And just an FYI, if you need a fabulous breakfast idea, we LOVE these heart shaped chocolate chip banana pancakes!
If you want to make a super easy 2-ingredient dessert… chocolate covered strawberries always impress!
And if you’re a bread pudding lover like myself, and don’t mind splurging a few extra calories, I love this Dark Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding!
