The cheesecakes may jiggy slightly when done but remove from the oven before they begin to crack. If you overcook the cheesecake and they begin to crack, they still taste amazing and you can cover the cracks with the ganache.

Let cool on a wire rack to room temperature then move to the refrigerator to chill.

In a small saucepan, simmer heavy cream over medium heat and remove just before it begins to boil. Pour over semi-sweet chocolate and stir until smooth.

If using a square pan, cut mini cheesecakes into 1-inch squares. Place a small spoonful of melted chocolate on the mini chocolate cheesecakes, it should just fill the middle before spilling over.

For best results refrigerate overnight before serving chilled or at room temperature with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a chocolate drizzle, espresso beans, chocolate curls or mini chocolate chips.
