Chocolate Cheesecake Bites

Another great little (simple) dessert!  This is a scaled down recipe that can be doubled, tripled, etc., as desired. The greek yogurt adds protein while the unsweetened cocoa powder is rich in antioxidants!

Chocolate Cheesecake Bites

Ingredients

.5 cup low fat vanilla greek yogurt (I like Dannon Greek; plain greek will work as well but they won't be quite as sweet)

4 oz. Neufchatel cheese (aka light cream cheese)

3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

splash of vanilla extract

pinch of stevia (I have also used about 2 packets of sun crystals in place of stevia; any low/zero calorie sweetener will do)

1 package of mini fillo shells (like Athens)

Directions

Allow yogurt and Neufchatel cheese to come to room temperature; blend all ingredients until smooth.  Fill each fillo cup with a dollop of the mixture; top with chocolate sprinkles or mini chocolate chips.  This version fills about 22 shells.
