hey guys it's Danny and today I want to
0:08
share with you a really simple dessert
0:10
recipe that you could just as easily
0:12
make on a Tuesday night or serve to all
0:15
your friends and family during the
0:16
holiday season it's simple it's
0:19
nutritious and most importantly it's
0:21
absolutely delicious for this quick bite
0:24
I'm making my individual creamy
0:26
chocolate cheesecakes
0:28
so to start off we're going to make the
0:30
crust and in this bowl here I've got six
0:32
sheets of graham crackers that I pulsed
0:34
down in my food processor until I had a
0:37
nice fine crumb just like this now the
0:40
key when buying those graham crackers
0:41
guys is that you look for the most
0:43
natural high quality graham cracker you
0:45
can get your hands on so no high
0:47
fructose corn syrup and no hydrogenated
0:49
oils to this we're going to add a
0:52
tablespoon of melted coconut oil and if
0:54
you didn't have coconut oil you could
0:56
also use a tablespoon of melted butter
0:57
here but you know that I love the
0:59
coconut oil okay then just use your
1:01
fingertips to bring it all together and
1:06
basically the end result you're looking
1:07
for is just like a really fine wet sand
1:11
okay so once you've got this texture
1:13
here and you've got it all worked
1:14
together what you want to do is divide
1:17
this mixture amongst four 6 oz ramicans
1:20
so it's going to be about a couple
1:21
tablespoons in each ramkin get it in the
1:24
cup and then use your fingers to pat out
1:27
the bottom and then just kind of slowly
1:29
work it up the sides of the ramkin now
1:33
what you're going to see is that it's
1:34
not going to come all the way to the top
1:35
this is just going to be like a little
1:36
cup at the bottom okay just like that
1:39
this what's going to look like when it's
1:40
done once you've got them all done
1:43
you're just going to pop them onto a
1:44
rimmed baking sheet and we're going to
1:47
pop this into a 400 degree oven for
1:49
about eight minutes or until they're
1:50
golden brown and that's going to help
1:52
set them in the cups
1:57
now in the meantime we're going to work
1:59
on that creamy chocolate filling i've
2:01
got two cups of plain non-fat Greek
2:04
yogurt in my bowl here now traditionally
2:06
if you were making a cheesecake you'd be
2:08
using sour cream and cream cheese but
2:10
the cool thing about this yogurt is that
2:12
it's rich and creamy enough to get the
2:14
job done all by itself to that I'm
2:17
adding 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa
2:19
powder
2:21
1 tbsp of powdered sugar also known as
2:23
confectioner sugar and 2 tbsp of real
2:26
maple syrup now initially when I made
2:29
this recipe I tried to make it with all
2:31
maple syrup but I find that that one tsp
2:34
of powdered sugar really helps set the
2:36
cheesecake once it chills so here's to
2:38
just a little bit of refined sugar guys
2:41
everything in moderation then you're
2:43
going to grab your hand mixer and just
2:45
blend this up until everything comes
2:47
together and the mixture seems nice and
2:49
light and fluffy
2:56
okay so we've got our crusts done
3:00
we've got our filling done now we just
3:02
have to make the cream topping and that
3:04
is super easy okay now don't blink
3:07
because this whole thing is going to be
3:08
over faster than it starts i've got 1/3
3:11
cup of plain non-fat vanilla Greek
3:14
yogurt in my bowl here and to that I'm
3:17
going to add 1 tbsp of pomegranate seeds
3:20
which are nice and sweet and tart and a
3:23
tablespoon of chopped up candied ginger
3:26
which is sweet and spicy so they play
3:28
off each other really well and the
3:30
colors are just perfect for the holidays
3:32
then just mix that together and voila
3:35
you've got your holiday whipped topping
3:37
now all we need to do is assemble once
3:40
your graham cracker crusts have cooled
3:42
you're going to spoon a half a cup of
3:45
that creamy chocolate mixture into each
3:48
ramkin once you've got them all filled
3:50
up you're going to take our holiday
3:53
whipped cream and put a nice big dollop
3:56
on top of each one and then just to
3:59
finish it off give each cup a couple
4:01
extra pomegranate seeds and a couple
4:03
pieces of that candied ginger right over
4:06
the top beautiful
4:09
once you've got them all ready to go
4:11
just put them in the fridge let them set
4:12
for a couple hours and then when it's
4:14
time for dessert you've got this simple
4:16
beautiful delicious nutritious dessert
