Cheesecake
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F
- Cream the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and flour until nice and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between each addition. The batter should be smooth with no lumps of cream cheese or sugar.
- Spoon half the batter into a separate bowl and dye the batter pink with 1-2 drops of red food coloring. Mix well and spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the mixture into each cupcake liner.
- Add the melted chocolate to the remaining cheesecake batter and mix well. Top the cheesecake with one heaping tablespoon of the chocolate batter. You can now take a toothpick or knife and marble the two flavors or leave as is to have to distinct layers. It’s up to you!
- Bake for 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the oven door open. Leave the cheesecakes in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Cool cheesecake on a rack for 30 minutes.

- Top each cheesecake with a tablespoon of chocolate ganache. Refrigerate the cheesecakes for a minimum of 30 minutes, overnight is best.
