Here at Dessert for Two headquarters, we (me, myself, and I) have a lot of strategy meetings. We throw around a lot of corporate jargon ('synergy', 'end-game', 'big picture thinking') in these meetings to discuss what exactly constitutes a serving size. The synergy between chocolate and cream cheese gets me to the ultimate end-game of cheesecake without forgetting big picture thinking: easily scaled up to serve more than two. Is everyone on board? Go team!
Sometimes, though, the serving size is decided by the deliciousness factor. These no bake mini chocolate cheesecakes are served in 2 jars, but I wouldn't mind one bit if you ate both. In fact, I had a bad day and ate both once. Fine, twice. The third time around, I passed both jars through the fence to my neighbor. When it comes to cheesecake, I'm hard-pressed to find a flaw, so I needed a third party to tell me if the milk chocolate was too sweet. That said, you can use your favorite chocolate in this recipe. Even one of those chocolate bars studded with crystallized ginger chunks. Oooh yeah!
Confession: I adore milk chocolate. I know it's not trendy (or loaded with so many antioxidants that I'll live forever!!), but I'm having a moment with milk chocolate. Really good quality milk chocolate that has caramel undertones. I'm partial to Scharffen Berger (they're totally not paying me to say that--but if they want to, just give me a ring!). I went on their factory tour in San Francisco once, and they explained the process of heating the sugar and milk almost to the point of caramelization when making their milk chocolate. I pretty much gave dark chocolate the hard elbow in the ribs at the moment, and have been dating milk chocolate ever since.
I'm pretty sure you'll be dating milk chocolate on the side after one bite of these cheesecakes, too.

Scharffen Berger is on another level. I'm not so much a milk chocolate gal, but when it comes to Scharffen Berger I'm an addict. At a restaurant I used to work at we had their little disks in a huge tub, and I'd frequently snack on a handful :) These cheesecakes look lovely!
Sues says
I'd definitely eat both of these. And while I generally prefer milk chocolate, there are definitely times where I'm craving all milk chocolate and these look perfect!!
Abby @ The Frosted Vegan says
Oh hell yes please and thank you!
Nicole @ Young, Broke and Hungry says
I adore dark chocolate but in dessert's, I'm a milk chocolate gal. Love that this recipe is no-bake.
Medha @ Whisk & Shout says
These are stunning! No bake cheesecakes are the best and love these deconstructed parfaits :)
Catriona | Analog Eats says
Yes! More no-bake ideas! I am on that wavelength. I may need some convincing on the milk chocolate, though, to be fair, I have probably never had quality milk chocolate. Must try this!
June @ How to Philosophize with Cake says
I could definitely eat two jars of this, judging by the delicious photos! So creamy and chocolaty, yum... :)
Shawnna says
Oh yummy!! These would be amazing!!
Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe says
I'm going to make these and then accidentally eat both of them. Cool?
Christina Lane says
Yeah, I accidentally tripped and fell face-first into both, too. :)
