Low Fat Mini Chocolate Mandarin Cheesecakelets

I couldn’t wait to share this recipe.  Firstly, because I think anything mini is immensely cute.  Secondly, because these little chocolate morsels are not only amazingly delicious, they are also low fat.   They taste SO good you would be hard pressed to believe they are low fat.

Their secret ingredient?  Cottage cheese!

I stumbled across this recipe in January/February edition of Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food magazine in her Everyday Food app, which I had downloaded onto my new iPad.  I am loving my new iPad and in particular the range of food magazines and cooking apps that are available.  Through the iPad I can access a vast array of overseas food magazines that I was hard pressed to find here in Australia.  My favourite of the magazines on the iPad being Martha’s Everyday Food, Food & Wine, Saveur and Food Network.  Food and Wine magazine and Martha’s Everyday Food offer additional rich content through their specific iPad apps with embedded videos demonstrating recipes or cooking techniques.  If you have an iPad and enjoy food magazines I highly recommend you check out Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food app, Food and Wine Magazine app and the Zinio app which offers subscription to a vast of Australian and international magazines (including Saveur and Food Network).

The original recipe was for Mini Mocha Cheesecakes, which I decided to modify because I can’t stand coffee (love the smell but hate the taste). I love anything chocolate orange, in my opinion it’s such a heavenly combination so began to think of a chocolate orange version but we’d received some lovely mandarins in our latest farmers delivery so I thought I would try a chocolate mandarin version. The result was scrumptious and definitely a recipe I wouldn’t hesitate to make again, especially for a dinner party, as these mini morsels of chocolatey goodness are sure to impress.  You might also like to keep these in mind for Mother’s Day, which is only a few days away.
