Ingredients:

  1. 6 oz light softened cream cheese
  2. 1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
  3. 2.5 Tbsp sugar
  4. 1.5 Tbsp flour
  5. 1 Tbsp light butter (e.g., Gay Lea)
  6. 2 Tbsp milk (I used 1%)
  7. 1 egg
  8. 12 Oreo thin cookies
  9. 3 squares (30g) Lindt 70% dark chocolate

Instructions:

  1. Begin your culinary journey by preheating the oven to 325°F. Line a regular-sized muffin tin with 12 paper cup liners, placing a single Oreo thin at the bottom of each cup.
  2. In a bowl, employ an electric mixer to whip up a delightful concoction of light cream cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, sugar, flour, light butter, egg, and milk. Mix until the texture is smooth and creamy, a testament to the harmonious marriage of ingredients.
  3. Distribute the luscious cream cheese mixture evenly among the 12 Oreo-lined cups, creating a foundation for the indulgence that follows.
  4. In a culinary ballet, melt the dark chocolate squares in the microwave, opting for 30-second intervals and turning after each to achieve a velvety consistency.
  5. With an artistic touch, drop a small dollop of melted chocolate into the center of each cheesecake. Employ toothpicks to create a mesmerizing swirl effect, transforming each bite into a visual and culinary delight.
  6. Allow your creations to bake in the oven for 25 minutes, a symphony of aromas filling your kitchen as anticipation builds.
  7. Once baked to perfection, let the cheesecakes cool completely before transferring them to the fridge for a chill of at least 1-2 hours. For an optimal experience, consider preparing these delights the night before serving, allowing flavors to meld and textures to reach a sublime consistency.
