preview for Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cheesecakes Are The Ideal Two-In-One Dessert

If you just can't make up your mind about what Valentine's Day dessert to make for a special someone this year, why not combine two for the best-of-both-worlds? These chocolate-covered strawberry cheesecakes combine two classic desserts—simple chocolate-covered strawberries and creamy cheesecake—into one bite-sized, mini treat.

For this recipe, we created our melted chocolate for our strawberries from a ganache made from melted semisweet chocolate, but you can use dark if that's more your thing. If you'd rather go classic and simple, use our chocolate-covered strawberries recipe as a guide to developing a simple melted chocolate for your strawberries.

Want to make these ahead of time? No problem! Once prepared, store in an airtight container (where they won't touch each other too much) in your fridge for 2-3 days.
