Ingredients
- 1 oz 1 square semisweet baking chocolate, plus 1/8 oz shavings (Bakers)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup light sour cream
- 4 oz Philly 1/3 less fat cream cheese
Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 225°F. Prepare a mini muffin pan by lining it with mini cups or muffin liners.

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 oz of chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each session until fully melted, which should take approximately 1 1/2 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, utilize a hand mixer to blend the cream cheese and sugar together, then incorporate the sour cream and continue beating until the mixture is completely smooth.

Gently fold in the egg using a spoon (always folding under) along with the melted chocolate, mixing until the batter is uniform.

Distribute 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each cup. Bake for 50 minutes, then switch off the oven and allow the cheesecakes to rest inside for an additional 30 minutes. Once done, take them out and let them cool entirely before serving, which can take about 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Before serving, grate the remaining chocolate and sprinkle it generously over the top of each cheesecake cup.
