This
recipe was inspired by this season of Recipe to Riches. The judges
criticized the original for being a full fat, unhealthy dessert. I
wanted to make a healthier, low fat version of this recipe. Different
fruits can be used in this, it doesn't have to be this combination.
Another favourite is raspberry mango. :) Don't worry about how little
sweetener is in this, it is enough. As long as your fruit is ripe, you
shouldn't need to sweeten it at all.

Yield: 12 regular muffin sized cheesecakes
Ingredients:
8 oz light cream cheese, softened
250g fat free greek yogurt
1/4 cup agave syrup
300g dark chocolate
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup strawberries, small dice
Preparation:
Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Melt chocolate in a double boiler, or in the microwave in 30 second intervals. Pour melted chocolate into cupcake liners and move the liner around so chocolate coats the entire thing evenly. Place in the refrigerator until set, or let sit at room temperature overnight.
While chocolate is setting place strawberries and raspberries in a sauce pot and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce heat and let the mixture thicken. If the fruit is ripe, sugar will not be needed. Remove from heat and let cool once thickened.
While fruit is cooling place cream cheese in a mixing bowl with a paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add Greek yogurt and agave syrup. Mix well.
Place cheesecake mixture in a piping bag with a large round or star tip and pipe a small amount into the bottom of the chocolate cup, no more than 1/3. Spoon enough of the fruit mixture over the cheesecake filling to cover all the cheesecake. Top with another layer of cheesecake filling to fill the chocolate cups. Drizzle extra chocolate on top if desired. Chill and serve.
