WHERE TO BUY

1
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Toss together chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter; press into bottom of 12 mini (2 oz) silicone cheesecake molds. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp and set. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until completely cooled.
2
Finely chop 6 Dark Chocolate Promises®; set aside. Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in condensed milk, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth. Fold in chopped chocolate.
3
Spoon batter into prepared molds, leaving 1/4-inch space at top. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or until well set.
4
In small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 3 tbsp cold water; let stand for 5 to 8 minutes or until softened. Meanwhile, in small saucepan set over medium heat, combine wine and sugar. Bring to simmer; cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until sugar dissolves and liquid is slightly reduced. Stir in gelatin. Remove from heat; let stand at room temperature until cool to the touch.
5
Pour some of the wine gelee mixture over each cheesecake to come to top of each mold. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes or until chilled and set.
6
Remove cheesecakes from molds. Garnish with remaining Dark Chocolate Promises®.
TIPS
Use a Pinot Noir, Merlot or Port wine if desired. To cool wine gelee quickly, transfer to bowl; sit bowl in larger bowl of ice water, whisking frequently until mixture is cool to the touch.
