Tips:
- For a richer cheesecake flavor, use a mixture of cream cheese and mascarpone cheese.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round baking pan. Just be sure to line the pan with parchment paper so the cheesecake doesn't stick.
- To make the chocolate coating, use a high-quality chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa solids.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, so it doesn't burn.
- To decorate the cheesecake bites, you can use a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or grated chocolate.
