Individual Oreo Red Velvet Cheesecakes
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and I couldn’t possibly let it go by without a sweet little red dessert to share.
Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? I don’t like to make a big deal out of it, personally. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fun way to celebrate the people you love in your life. But, I think the V-Day puts a lot of pressure on couples to make the day special, and if two people in a relationship have different expectations of what is going to happen on Valentine’s Day, they could have issues.
When you really care for someone, there are many ways and opportunities to show it, and why not forget about material gifts this year and give your Valentine something that is 100 times more valuable? Instead of dinner in a crowded restaurant, make him or her an unforgettable meal at home.
Cooking for someone signifies thoughtfulness and effort.
This is my suggestion how to sweeten your love.
Do you like individually portioned desserts?
Do you like (little) cheesecakes ?
And they aren’t just any little cheesecakes. Nope. These have a Oreo crust on the bottom, a gorgeous red velvet color cream cheese filling and topped with the whipped cream.
They are rich, sweet and a perfect dessert for any day really. That’s why I made them into individual servings….so you can have a treat anytime without feeling like you are eating a decadent slice of cheesecake. Ya know?
