From the look, dessert is very simple. But when you taste it, you understand that the taste is more different than the view – taste is adorable. Everyone in my family couldn’t stop after one bite. I divided dough to four ramekins because the portions were very small, but I did mistake. I really should divide it to 8 cups because this cream is very satisfying.
Chocolate Mascarpone Cheesecake Pots
Time needed:
Yields: 8 servings
Calories: 223 kcal / serving
Ingredients:
1 cup = 237 ml
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 100 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 225 g Mascarpone cheese
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- pinch salt
- 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
Directions:
- Position rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 160°C.
- In a saucepan, bring cream to a simmer over medium heat.
- Remove the pan from heat before the cream starts to boil and add the chocolate, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mascarpone and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until smooth.
- Add flour, salt, vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the mascarpone cheese mixture and whisk gently until smooth.
- Put eight custard cups, ramekins, or small oven proof coffee cups in empty baking pan. Divide the chocolate-cheesecake mixture among the cups.
- Put the baking dish in the oven and then carefully pour boiling water into the pan. Adding just enough water to reach halfway up the sides of the custard cups. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake until the tops of the cheesecakes appear solid but jiggle slightly when shaken, 30-40 minutes.
- These will firm up as they cool to room temperature.
- Cover each pot with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- These can be made up to 2 days in advance.
- Enjoy!

Pumpkin granola with chocolate chunks
Usually I make granola in summer, when it’s hot outside and no one wants to eat porridge. But when last week I tried new recipe for granola bars and I had only crumbs, my kids ate it just like usual granola for breakfast. And then they asked to make more granola. So I make my favourite at this moment granola. Kids’ favourite granola will have to wait a little bit. They enjoy this granola too, just for them I had to add chocolate with more sugar.
Cake Lemon Butterfly
I chose this cake because it was with lemon, so had to be refreshing, and it was in butterfly shape – it had to fit for my daughter’s birthday, because she love every creature that is alive 🙂 And I was wright! The cake was very good! I baked only half portion, but it was really enough for 6-8 people. Only next time I would bake only 2/3 of sponge, because we like when cake is almost all of cream and sponge is a very thin layer. But you should decide by yourself.
Chocolate spread
This spread I found accidentally. But the simplicity was intriguing and I gave a try. Even my hubby, who doesn’t like cocoa, agreed that it’s very good. So almost all last week at school my girl ate sandwiches with this cream and peanut butter. And today I had to prepare this spread again, because it was very good with a freshly baked bread for me too 🙂
Cranberries and chocolate cake
If you like sour and sweet cakes like us – this is for you. I was afraid that it will be too sour but is was really good.
Chocolate cake with apples
This recipe waited for a year because last year somehow I was late – apples were gone, and I didn’t want to buy them. So this year this is my first (and the only) apple cake. And it was a really good cake! I baked only half of the recipe, but I got only one slice – my kids ate almost half of it at once. I could treat my parents only with the small slices… The cake is very moist and in reality it looks better than in the book. And I won’t judge my photos 🙂
