Triple chocolate cheesecake topped with ganache and Reese’s cups.

Reese's Chocolate Cheesecake

We survived our first week of school! I’m still unsure whether I should celebrate with a chocolate cheesecake or drown my sorrows in a big slice of this chocolate heaven. You see, on Wednesday I sent my last baby to preschool. Cue the tears. There were many tears involved, and they definitely weren’t coming from a certain 4 year old I know. I thought for sure he’d be the hardest to send to school. He’s a wild one but he’s terribly shy in front of strangers. He’d been so nervous about this for weeks. Then on Wednesday as I tried to give him his 37th hug that morning he practically pushed me out the door. He was ready for this new adventure whether I was or not. Surprisingly after I got in the car and wiped away my tears I felt nothing but excitement for him. I couldn’t wait to pick him up and hear all about his day! I’ve struggled with accepting this new stage of our lives for months and now that it’s happening I’m ready to embrace it. Of course I’ll miss having little ones at home with me during the day but I’m also excited about the time it’ll give me to focus on work, running errands, and volunteering at their schools. So I think we should celebrate with chocolate, right?

Reese's CheesecakeToday I’m sharing a chocolate cheesecake that I made a couple times over the summer. I’ve wanted to sit down to write this recipe for weeks, but things have been so busy with the end of summer and back to school. I even shared a sneak peak on instagram about a month ago thinking I would have the recipe up soon after. Ooops! Trust me, this recipe is worth the wait. It’s a very rich chocolate cheesecake that I topped with ganache and chopped Reese’s cups. My husband said it’s chocolate overload, but you can never have too much chocolate. Am I right?

I originally made this recipe as mini chocolate cheesecakes. They’re the perfect size and we love our mini cheesecake pan! The only concern with making them into individual servings is that you will need 3 pans to make 36 mini cheesecakes. It’s perfect if you’re having a party or large event. I don’t have three mini cheesecake pans so I used my one cheesecake pan and two cupcake pans. A dozen of them looked slightly different but we didn’t mind.
